A practice in the Open Hyperdocument System of making all documents Paragraph Addressable by inserting A-NAMEs at that level.
ChrisDent:BlogTweaks describes Chris' hacks to implement PurpleNumbers and Transclus Ion in a Web Log and a Wi Ki (EMail to come?)
ChrisDent:PurpleNetwork describes A collection of documents and resources which all use the same source for PurpleNumbers. Such a collection can transclude among itself, even if the documents are not of the same type.
Need to get down some thoughts on PurpleNumbers and Transclus Ion (as it inches toward a Node Web vision)...
- if you're just going after granular addressability, then node ids (nid-s) can be pretty much anything, as long as they're unique within the document
but common User Story is refactoring a document, so a paragraph/node could move to a totally different page/document. So code has to be at least domain-unique. Might as well go all the way to to UUID?
nodes (Information Block-s) get identified with a tag like '{nid351}'
multiple media/channels (a wiki, an Email List) can share a PurpleNumbers server which hands out node ids.
do we need a URI-authority like Tim Bray to give some input? (should a nid be thought of as a URI? should its containing document have some 'Base Nid Host' tag or something to identify its purple-source?)
