How about let's work with Henry to create a dkr island on the web 
using this tool. Just 8-10 best pick articles of material now available. 
As this core content and basic references becomes accessible 
using dkr mapping tools and browser, then links to other archives 
can be established. 
*Pick 8-10 of Doug's articles or favorites to start this off. 
* Use this tool to apply the plinks. 
* Publish this group of pages with some sort of topic map 
showing links between marked fragments. 
* Experiment with indexing, visualization of content, navigation, and utility. 
At first the links between items are represented by simple graphs 
just showing physical order in the document. With some work, links 
between fragments of other documents in this group are found 
and added. The graph grows when other documents are added 
to this dkr domain, and more when references to outside this dkr 
can be shown. 
Since the markup is the very basic of XML storage and access 
techniques, this simple tool is a core item in beginning to organize 
a dkr. If this works, that is, if it can be used to create and maintain 
a working dkr, it is a great contribution. 
It is clear that every addressed entry needs to get plinked 
this at least once, then maybe replinked if superceded. 
Following this model at  
http://www.hypermultimedia.com/DKR/model2.htm
I would add these chosen articles at the level of Learning. 
I'm sure there would be opportunity to elevate some content 
to Knowledge, thus maybe clarifying choices of what to work on. 
I suggest starting with Doug's material because it is available, 
I'm sure it will create an interesting map, and that results of 
using this knowledge can be measured by us. 
Thank You and Best Regards, 
Joe
