Simon:
As of now I do not have our updated White Paper, as we are a small group
working on this project. I would be happy to talk with you via telephone and
guide you through our features and uses and any technical questions you may
have can be answered by a member of the tech. team.
We are an "open hyperlink system" rather than "open hyperdocument system"
and we believe this will be one of the next paradigm shifts in web type
database structures. It is impossible to understand the depth of it from our
web site, as we only give a hint to what we have and what it is.
This technology will change how people work, learn and exchange information,
and will gradually turn both corporate internal webs, and the www into true
collaborative spaces, enable groups of people to build webs together without
a central entity, and enable higher "creativity levels" of man-machine work,
because it will fundamentally change the way webs are interlinked.
What is an Open Hyper Link System?
It is a technology that supports open addressing of objects within live
files, including change tracking and other new "behavioral attributes" not
found in today's hyperlinks and webs that are built with html or XML.
This means, for example, that people working with information can make links
from "within" any document they view, while the link is actually stored
externally on an open-hyperlink server. It separates the hyperlinks logical
level from the contents logical level (today, hyperlinks are embedded within
content and put there only by authors of the content). It will not need
changing of today's content structures, document standards, or deep UI
working habits, as we support them. We intend to supply it both as an OEM
technology into different existing products, and as a self-standing:
corporate web-building / collaboration / groupware / document management
product.
If you wish to go deeper into BrowseUp vision, I recommend to follow these
links to relevant materials written by Doug Engelbart and by Tim Berners
Lee:

http://www.bootstrap.org/augdocs/augment-132811.htm
Also I have attached a flash presentation that introduces our technology as
a collaboration platform.
If you would like a more in depth look at the technology and where we are
going with it please contact me at your convenience.
My Best,
Melissa

Melissa,
Please can you tell me if there's a technical white paper describing
BrowseUp?
How does it relate to open hypermedia such as described at
http://www.acm.org/sigweb/subgroups/OHS.html
Thanks,
Simon Buckingham Shum
