Berners-Lee, T. (1989). Information Management: A Proposal. http://www.w3.org/History/1989/proposal.html

The document Berners_Lee used to convince the management at CERN that a global hypertext system was an idea to which they should devote resources. Explains the benefits and requirements of such a system. Shows that Berners_Lee was most interested in being able to access and use diverse and usually incompatible information resources. Knowledge evolution [drexler_hyper] is left out. The notion of privately annotating links, however, is included.
