Re: [ba-ohs-talk] GUI Ideas and NODAL


I'm reading from
NODAL A Filesystem for Ubiquitous Collaboration.htm
Section 4.7    (01)

"The second type is a more traditional hyperlink. This construct is built on
the range type, which represents the collection of nodes between two paths
that are the inclusive end-points of the range (note that a simple path is
also a range that identifies exactly one node). This collection of nodes is
determined by the path difference between the two paths: a relative path
from the range start to the range end. Any node in or below the relative
path is considered to be part of the graph fragment identified by the range.
A hyperlink is then constructed from two or more such range expressions and
can be either unidirectional or multidirectional, embedded or external. All
such hyperlinks are managed by a linkdatabase that maintains these paths
through modifications and delivers link descriptions along with published
documents." 31C (0120)    (02)

Can someone explain to me what the 'or below' in,
"Any node in or below the relative path is considered to be part of the
graph fragment identified by the range.",
means.    (03)

Thanks,
