Theres also Ted Nelsons ZigZag software concept. Kind of a cross between spreadsheets and databases. Just better than both. Graphically featuring multidimensionality, halforders and more.
I'm fond of wikis since they don't shoehorn reality into a linear thread like books or into a tree like our BEEP file systems (which I passionately hate). And they retain bidirectional links unlike the web. I'd soo wish for a wiki that allows for viewing (and editing!) it from a birds eye box-and-arrow graph perspective. Arrows being "visible connections". Also want graph-views embeddable in page-views.
Yeah and it should be "glocal". That is arbitrary privacy groups all the way down to just yourself making the local-pc vs global-web rift (a major link disruption factor) disappear.
Wikis could probably too profit from Xanadu type visible transclusion connections. Extending Hovercards (great progress but not quite the same thing) from links to paragraphs might be a sometimes desirable compromise when considering scarcity of screen estate.
