What is linguistic hypertext?
=============================

Taxonomy            The first step to organizing a body of knowledge is to
construction        convert the vocabulary into a taxonomy or classification
============        system for the language.  <link56>

                    I describe my standard test for hypertext talents as
Can you create      converting a book index into a clean hierarchy
hypertext?          (completeness, parallelism, sequence, and span) that
==========          organizes information into categories that will make
                    sense to the various users of the system.  Why is this
                    important?  <link04>

Minimum keystrokes  Overall "good" taxonomies provide users with rapid
==================  ways to find what they want to know within a minimum
                    number of keystrokes.

Any file leads to   If pieces of this taxonomy have been added to each
all files           of the files, users can eventually reach all related
=========           files while browsing in any one file.  Such network
                    thinking is central to integrating systems of knowledge.
