'blazing trails'... annotation... information overviews..." We open this special issue with contributions from two pioneers "as beacons of hypermedia’s potential to support people, teams, and organizations in the hypermedia field. Ted Nelson describes transclusion, the central feature embedded within the design of the Xanadu paradigm... Doug Engelbart describes features central to the design of an open hyperdocument system, which he believes will constitute the core of organizational information systems in the future. ”
