[Home]Hypertext/Source tracking

HomePage | Hypertext | Recent Changes | Preferences

Some hypertext systems include a facility to rigorously track the exact source of every document or partial document incuded in the system; that is, they remember who entered the information, when it was entered, when it was updated and by whom, and so on. This allows determining the exact history of every document (and even small parts of documents).

Present HTML and HTTP do not have this feature, but certain systems on the World Wide Web (such as WikiWiki) may have limited versions of the capability.
