How great it is to use a W3C standard link to a particular item in a report published 33 years ago in a 57 year old hypertext system using a Web interface created about 30 years ago.
While the rest of the world randomly trashes links created 5 years ago, or whenever the last juice is squeezed from an article by a once famous author writing for a once respected publisher by any of a myriad of private equity predators.
@bosak It looks like they already have that document logged.
It contains a copy of one of my favorite Doug Engelbart papers and diagrams!
I think of an Engelbart style Journal as a space to record, cite, and link dialog, external references, and knowledge products for some continuing, broadly defined purposes of an organization or individual.

Wann und von wem wurde die Computermaus erfunden?
Das war 1964 und diese wurde von Douglas C. Engelbart am Stanford Research Institute erdacht.
Er und sein Team entwickelten in den 1960er Jahren Bitmap-Bildschirme, die erste Computermaus, Hypertext, Vorläufer der grafischen Benutzeroberfläche, einschließlich Telekonferenzen mit gemeinsamem Bildschirm.
Ende 1968 präsentierte er in San Fransisco die erste Videokonferenz, die "Mutter aller Demos".

Not only that, but a good introduction to this device in general and the context around it. A good read!

“By ‘augmenting human intellect’ we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems.” — Douglas Engelbart (1962)

"Doug Engelbart sat under a twenty-two-foot-high video screen, ‘dealing lightning with both hands.’ At least that's the way it seemed to Chuck Thacker, a young Xerox PARC computer designer who was later shown a video of the demonstration that changed the course of the computer world.” — John Markoff
