Hypertext:  Creation for others                 <sum10 1 8>
===============================

        Creating good hypertext is hard work that requires skills in:

Skills     Decomposition -- breaking information into component parts
======     Analyzing     -- understanding the relationships between the parts
           Abstracting   -- finding the ideas in each of the parts
           Semantics     -- understanding meaning independent of expression
           Generalizing  -- identifying commonalities
           Synthesizing  -- assembling component information in new ways
           Patterning    -- creating intuitively obvious knowledge formats

        Of course, the process of building hypertext systems does produce
        subject mastery (perhaps a personal goal).  The primary reason for
        creating hypertext, however, is to put desired knowledge at the
        fingertips of others <link04>, such as:

           (1)  Mentor systems    -- guiding new users to desired information
           (2)  Coach systems     -- providing extra insights whenever needed
           (3)  Assistant systems -- user automatically makes additional links

Key     Databases require no talent to build and epic talent to use <link26>.
