Non requirements
Discussions on Hypertext have sometimes tackled the problem of copyright
enforcement and data security. These are of secondary importance at CERN,
where information exchange is still more important than secrecy. Authorisation
and accounting systems for hypertext could conceivably be designed which are
very sophisticated, but they are not proposed here.
In cases where reference must be made to data which is in fact protected,
existing file protection systems should be sufficient.
