Abstract:

The World Wide Web (W3) has proved to be an important step towards realising truly integrated information ecologies. The radical openness of the Web model of information processing poses a number of fundamental problems that cannot be tackled in a technology-oriented framework alone. What is at stake, it will be argued, is a large scale restructuring of information processing environments affecting both information providers and end-users. The basic strategy of the Web, the global HTML (hypertext mark-up language)-based hypertext, will be discussed with particular reference to methodological implications in text-oriented fields. The central claim will be the importance of the Web as a generator for new leading metaphors of globally networked information processing.
