February 7, 1997 "On the Net and the liberation of information that 'wants' to be free" ²⁸¹ published on ITL - updated 17 and submitted for paper publication. Work paper contributed to the publication prepared in commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of the Law Faculty of the University of Tromsø. ²⁸² Now I must confess that I did not know about the FSS or OSS at the time, and it would have been a good thing/useful to incorporate these ideas.

March 14, 1997 Rudimentary Electronic Citation System and Electronic ID or Document Verification System complete. Presentation of Article "On the Net..." provided as a practical example, the substantive text remains the same as that of February 17. Electronic Citation is mentioned in passing within the article that is provided as an example, at e§ 75 and e§ 148. These are the numbers found at the end of "paragraphs" marked ecs § # in a ghost or shadow colour and in superscript, or: "ecs § ..." [this was subsequently changed to { 75 } and then just the number displayed in the page margin]. Although provided as hyperlinks here, these numbers are particularly useful in written citation of the text, as different browsers format html texts differently, and most browsers print the same document out in different font sizes, resulting in different page numbering. After some consideration, it appears to me that for the present time the preferred citation system is the simplest, numbering sequentially all elements of the substantive document - including title, author, headings and paragraphs. Anything else requires decisions as to what may be best and why and how to achieve uniformity of adoption. For example should headings be numbered differently from ordinary text? What about the author's numbering of such headings if any? Should sub-headings be numbered differently from headings, why not? If so how? Until such questions are decided, this is my take, our "ghost 'paragraph' numbering" will be incorporated into future texts presented at this site without other suitable means of referencing.

March 1997 At this time am also working on an Electronic ID or Document Verification System, using the hash value of the ascii content of text to ascertain that a published version has not been changed. The tools are already available to do this, but it is a new idea, and challenge for me.
