Thanks Steve, re-reading Dave’s post it seems clear that you interpretation is right, though the point is made towards the end of his text.

I can’t think of any information management software—whether discussed here or not—which does not reference the outside world, even in the form of simple URLs. Of course Dave is talking about open APIs and the like, which would allow one to leverage information structures already developed by others.

For me such a information management world would be ideal, and would take learning and knowledge management many times forward. That said, I believe that it’s as much an issue of technology as it is of culture.
