Nominative

Bill Seitz connects the nominative nature of wikis with Eugene Eric Kim's pattern of Link As You Think. (Kim is especially interested in the dynamics of wiki composition, in the way nominative links can be sketched quickly and filled in at leisure. My emphasis was on rhetoric and structure, on the way a "finished" wiki composition differs from other hypertext idioms. It's an interesting juxtaposition.)
