Note that the HEADER tag here was replaced by HEAD in subsequent HTML versions. The current HEADER is a completely different beast, falling inside the BODY.

"Resource discovery" is identified as a problem. And a possible solution is proposed: By the way, it would be easy in principle for a third party to run over these trees and make indexes of what they find. Its just that noone has done it as far as I know because there isn't yet an indexer which runs over the web directly. Now, if there was only some money in that ...
In the long term, when there is a really large mass of data out there, with deep interconnections, then there is some really exciting work to be done on automatic algorithms to make multi-level searches.
Heh. Nice idea. It uses the old NextStep AppKit classes (rather than OpenStep, which Cocoa descends from) so you'd have to reimplement them, possibly as wappers around the modern AppKit api.

Could be a nice 'just for fun' sort of project though...
The work at CERN is differentiated when it is performed by westerners or by people from the eastern side:
"The cost [...] has been evaluated, taking into account realistic labor prices in different countries. The total cost is X (with a western equivalent value of Y)" [where Y>X]
