Papers from some of the (more than twenty) presentations will be made available online from http://www.hytime.org/. "In summary," Kipp writes, MetaStructures '98 had more attendees discussing deeper issues than last year. It had more live design and product demos than any year before. Even so, the ideas of interoperable metastructures are still on the 'bleeding edge' of technology. Therefore, if you feel that the SGML/XML trade shows are secret plots to numb your mind, then next year's MetaStructures will provide the intellectual stimulation you absolutely need.

Introduction: "There are at least three reasons why separating markup from the material marked up ('standoffannotation') may be an attractive proposition: (1) The base material may be read-only and/or very large, so copying it to introduce markup may be unacceptable; (2) The markup may involve multiple overlapping hierarchies; (3) Distribution of the base document may be controlled, but the markup is intended to be freely available. In this paper we introduce two kinds of semantics for hyperlinks to facilitate this type of annotation, and describe the LT NSL toolset which supports these semantics." [archive copy]
