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 is left out. The notion of privately annotating links, however, is included.
