Through this mechanism, the system can show to the user all documents |
92 |
|
that share text with the current document. In the xanalogical storage model, |
93 |
|
links are not between documents, but individual characters. For example, in the |
94 |
|
World Wide Web links are between documents, while in the xanalogical storage model |
95 |
|
links are between individual characters. Each character has a |
96 |
|
permanent, globally unique identifier. A xanalogical link is shown between |
97 |
|
any two documents containing the characters that the link connects. Xanalogical links |
98 |
|
are external and bidirectional. |
