9. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 9 December 2024 What is Wrong with Digital Documents? ▪ Existing document formats are based on the simulation of paper affordances on desktop computers ▪ How to manage mixed-media "documents" in open and fluid cross-media information spaces? ▪ on the data level - context-sensitive adaptation - cross-media transclusion ▪ on the visualisation and navigation level - zoomable user interfaces ▪ on the cross-media interaction level - fluid multimodal cross-media interfaces ▪ Remediation of the "paper simulation" approach ▪ WYSIWYG is only one out of many options!

12. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 12 December 2024 Digital Documents as a Paper Simulator? Vannevar Bush Ted Nelson Most people don't understand the logic of the concept: "What You See Is What You Get" is based on printing the document out ("get" means "get WHEN YOU PRINT IT OUT"). And that means a metaphysical shift: a document can only consist of what can be printed! [...] No overlays [...] – PAPER UNDER GLASS. When data of any sort are placed in storage, they are filed alphabetically or numerically, and information is found (when it is) by tracing it down from subclass to subclass. It can be in only one place, unless duplicates are used [...] The human mind does not work that way. It operates by association.
