The prediction, in brief:

Ability to inline different media-types and parts of documents is a driving force for improving the way we handle information on the net, and should be furthered in markup standards. Additions like inlining whole or parts of other documents by reference should be added to our markup language. At the same time, the technology needs to support accreditation and revenue of authors.

Predictor: Norderhaug, Terje

Prediction, in context:

In a paper presented at the third annual WWW Conference in 1995, Terje Norderhaug and Juliet M. Oberding of Media Design inProgress presented research titled, ÒDesigning a Web of Intellectual Property,Ó in which they assert that web technology undermines the protection of intellectual property. They write: ÒAbility to inline different media-types and parts of documents is a driving force for improving the way we handle information on the net, and should be furthered in markup standards. Additions like inlining whole or parts of other documents by reference should be added to our markup language. At the same time, the technology needs to support accreditation and revenue of authors.Ó
