	Fourth generation hypermediaConnecting occurrences: transclusions, warm links and hot links
		Transclusions (or inclusions) was one of the first hypermedia features to be proposed by hypertext visionaries, but thereafter ignored by hypermedia implementors.
		Xanadu's virtual document structure is built around transclusions: each document is a list of pointers to pieces of data, which originate in that document or are "included" from others.
		Transclusions are related to but differ from composites.

	Feature
		Whenever an author wished to quote, he or she would use transclusion to "virtually include" the passage in his or her own document.
		Nelson was frequently frustrated by his failure to convince casual questioners of the importance of his transclusion idea.
		Transclusion was extremely challenging to the programmers, for it meant that there could be no redundancy in the grand Xanadu library.

	Xanalogical Structure, Needed Now More than Ever
		Transclusions are not copies and they are not instances, but the same thing knowably and visibly in more than once place.
		Any implementation of transclusion is necessarily a simulation or an enactment, whether accomplished by a live connection, a cache, or an alias on the desktop.
		Any transclusion may also in principle be made "clickable", so that a user viewing a quoted part of some document may pull up the original context in a transpointing window.

		and is inclusion rather than transclusion.
		Either way, byte-offset transclusion is on its way both for HTML (there's a URL scheme proposed for it) and something similar will apparently be in XML (it's one of the desiderata).
		Whether inclusion or transclusion, it's one of the existing link behaviors ("include and interpret", e.g., render that GIF).

	XML.com: Transclusion with XSLT 2.0
		Transclusion is a hypertext concept that began in the work of Ted Nelson, who coined the term "hypertext".
		Roughly speaking, transclusion is the inclusion of a resource, or part of a resource, potentially from anywhere in the world, within a new one.
		Of course, at some level, information from one server must be copied from the transcluded document to show up on the screen of the user viewing the transcluding document; but if the copy happens at read time, every time, a compound document will still have the dynamic nature that Nelson envisioned.

	stating the obvious :: The Road to Xanadu :: Jul 08 1996
		Transclusion is the act of "quoting" another document on the network, without having to actually "copy and paste" content.
		Transclusion could enable a single page to include headlines and information directly from the appropriate sources: headlines and images from CNN in one corner, your company's stock quote from Networth in another corner, the lead New York Times editorial in another, and just for spice, a random Yahoo category in another.
		Transclusion could open up opportunities for a new breed of web artists, sampling content from a variety of sites, modifying it, creating interesting juxtapositions, etc. (imagine the front page of dole96.org, mixed with images from the NRA's site, mixed with results of an Alta Vista search on "Freudian dream theory").

	Problems with Dynamically Assembled Document Portions, and Some Solutions
		Transclusion is the dynamic inclusion of data from one document in another.
		The issue with transclusion is that the referenced data's meaning, structure, and content from its original context must be maintained in the referencing context; remember that our definition included maintaining the data object's identity, and making the original context available on demand.
		For instance, if a modified transclusion is copied to another document, an application might simply transclude the referenced section; it might copy the transclusion and modification information; or it might prompt the user to decide between those two options and the option to modify the original information again.

	Meatball Wiki: TransClusion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		A transclusion is the reuse in whole or in part of another node in one node's rendering.
		A transclusion is different from pure copying, however, in that only a reference to the foreign material is stored.
		Transclusion is therefore the usual way of including images on someone else's Wiki site, as you rarely have the facility to upload your own images.

		Editorial Opinion: Transclusion is really the key to doing cool things with wiki and web services in general.
		The saving grace of my solution is that when there is a lock (and therefore you need to fail) simply hand back a cached version of the results.
		The best way to do this is probably just to have a transclusion option on a variant of the current Kwiki::Cache module.

		"Transclusion" is the term I use now, a word coined since the book was originally written.
		Transclusion will be a fundamental service of tomorrow's literary computers, and a property of the documents they will supply.
		Transclusion means that part of a document may be in several places -- in other documents besides the original -- without actually being copied there.

	Xanalogical Structure: Now More Than Ever (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Transclusion is an answer to the problem of understanding identities of contents-- seeing what things are the same in two documents, side by side (as in the above visualization of transpointing windows).
		Link and transclusion must use different mechanisms: to implement transclusion by the same pointer mechanism as links prevents their use in a complementary fashion, for example with the same links to all instances of a transclusion.
		Transclusions are not specifically represented, but recognized by this system as identical ranges of the address space.

	Transclusion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Rather than copying the included data and storing it in two places, a transclusion allows it to be stored only once (and perhaps corrected and updated if the link type supported that) and viewed in different contexts.
		The idea of transclusion implies that sections of text can be written atomically, so that the content of one section does not interfere with the contents of another section.
		For some kinds of prose, these kinds of limitations are not severe, but to others it may be disturbing and lower the quality of the text.

	[No title]
		TRANSCLUSION In our software (still under development), we implement a special pointer which we call transclusion, a handy term for virtual inclusion by reference across a document boundary.
		The transclusion pointer means that any author is free to quote any document already published under this system, since the publisher of the other document has already given contractual permission for sale by fragment.
		Sale by user-specified fragment makes transclusion widely practical, making both possible and fair to all parties many varieties of use which are currently frustrated within the system of copyright.

	Transclude with XInclude (and XPointer!)
		Transclusion is the inclusion of all or part of a resource within another one.
		I've written of a way to implement transclusion with XSLT, which does let you insert a subtree of another document by specifying that subtree with an XPath expression, but it's a bit kludgy.
		Simple utilities that perform transclusion well and don't try to do anything else fit well with the growing popularity of the pipelining approach to XML processing.

	Glacial Erratics: Transclusion v Blockquote (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		I can't argue with blockquote being more efficient than transclusion, but you have to pay a price to get what transclusion is providing: live content that is up to date, expires less quickly (or sometimes not at all), and has the possibility of reference tracking.
		TransClusions from sites that have granular addressability like purple numbers but are not part of a PurpleNumbers network.
		I assume that the most compelling use cases for transclusion would involve transcluding dynamic content, that will not stay the same and hence must be refreshed from the source at regular intervals.

		For many cases of transclusion, the referencing or >the referenced data, or both, may be in media that have not even have an >applicable notion of "parsing".
		In particular, text that is not in the SGML syntactic content could appear as semantic content in the application's presentation of the document.

	On the web, blockquote beats transclusion
		The recent flurry of interest over the appearance of purple numbers has obscured that their original purpose was for assisting with transclusion.
		Transclusion could be put to good use behind the scenes, in content management systems, technical documentation and knowledge-bases.
		Transclusion should only be used to assemble pages within closed-world systems, it does not belong on the web.

		However, the main feature of version 1.2 is browser based OPML transclusion, as demonstrated in the Endless Web Page: any OPML outline linked to the currently rendered outline is inserted within the page when you click on the link, the same way it's done in Radio UserLand's outliner.
		I think transclusion gives a better sense of reaching out across the Web to bring some related information within the current context.
		Transclusion will move forward, supporting other publishing formats, and providing ways to achieve creative, visible and accountable re-use of original documents.

	Theodor H. Nelson Letter To The Editor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Xanadu's transclusion feature ensured that the system would always trace an individual work when it was being read or quoted, allowing authors to charge a small fee for every reading.
		Transclusion means making and maintaining connections among things which are the same-- not just among published documents, but privately as well.
		Finally, transclusive republication did not mean the system would "trace an individual work when it was being read or quoted," which implies spying on the user.

		Project Xanadu Expires 2 September 1997 2 March 1997 Fine-Grained Transclusion in the Hypertext Markup Language Status of this Memo This document is an Internet-Draft.
		One of the key concepts in Nelson's vision of hypertext is "transclusion" or virtual inclusion, which permits composite documents to be constructed by reference to the original components rather than by copying.
		It has also been suggested that people might wish to add transclusions by hand, in which case it might be desirable to have other ways of specifying the start and end of the range besides just the byte offsets, which are inconvenient to determine by hand.

		Transclusion is the idea that the same stuff can appear in multiple places.
		Transclusion is also different from re-entering (e.g., retyping) the same text word-for-word.
		Or transclusion would happen more implicitly if you decided to make a new version of a document.

	On the web, annotation beats transclusion
		Like transclusion, annotation is an interesting hypertext technology that has not been widely implemented on the web.
		Both annotations and transclusions require multiple HTTP requests to assemble a page by retrieving the annotations or the transcluded content, respectively.
		This optimisation is not available for transclusions, as the sites from which content is to be transcluded are not known until the page is loaded, and cannot be precached.

		I'm exploring the transclusive nature of instant outlining.
		We can have the most fun when it all leads to applications that make light bulbs pop in other peoples' heads, people for whom the technology is just a tool, and a means to an end.
		So a huge priority for technoids who begin playing with transclusive linking is to figure out ways to make sure non-technoids can experiment safely and productively, without fear of embarrassment or error.

		To me, transclusion has always been the heart of electronic media, and I think eventually people will understand this.
		So, here we are talking about transparallel media with transvisibility, meaning things seen side by side where you can see the explicit connections.
		Not today's hypertext, which is like jumping off a cliff into the darkness, but rather, seeing the stories side by side and seeing the connections, links and transclusions between their parts.

		The reason Steve and I proposed always distinguishing transclusion is that otherwise, there will be too much fear of intellectual property theft, and the Web could stagnate.

		The concept of transclusion — the quotation of documents by linking directly to embedded text instead of making a copy — has a lot of interesting possibilities, but in the end it feels to me like it's going in the exact wrong direction for the digital age.
		Nelson's whole design seems to be based around the idea of ownership: I own the bits I've written, I control the content and modifications, and when you quote from me you owe me a micropayment.

	PurpleWiki: Recursive Transclusion
		One way to avoid recursive transclusion problems is to have the original requesting client perform retrieval and processing for every piece of transcluded information, even information transcluded in the aggregate.
		Processing this A knows to simply substitute the node with whatever the textual value of C becomes.
		So, with this transclusion "solution", we've avoided recursion but replaced it with coordination among the various agents who expose information for transclusion and agents who transclude.
