I see 2 very large gaps in the program (not to discount the fine work that has been done, all essential for moving forward).

  1. Provenance. Those trained in classic techniques of scholarship still seek an assurance of authenticity for digital experiences that is comparable to what the elaborate machinery of scholarship provided.
  2. Logic. Not just the first fruits of the semantic web in the form of advanced finding aids, but integrating structured logical definitions, propositions, and arguments into EPUB+WEB to allow e-readers to do automatic fact- and fallacy-checking.
