 Abstract
 ========
 
-Problems of data mobility, such as broken links, are identified.
-Motivations and potential solutions are reviewed, and a design for 
-a system being developed for (these purposes) is presented. 
-The design and a partial implementation of it is evaluated 
-in light of use cases from realistic(?) scenarios. Open issues are 
-discussed, and the areas for future work in such as 
-interoperability, scalability and security is identified.
+Dangling links and tracking of alternative versions are identified as
+problems of data mobility, which is defined as a collective term for the
+movement of documents between computers, locations on one computer and
+movement of content between documents.
+Motivations and potential solutions in existing hypermedia research are
+reviewed. The design for Storm (for storage module) is
+presented, addressing the problems of data mobility by utilising
+location-independent globally unique identifiers, immutable block storage
+and peer-to-peer networking for hypermedia. 
+The design and a partial implementation of it is evaluated in
+light of use cases from scenarios, that illustrate the benefits of storm for
+e.g. mobile knowledge workers. [mention some of the additional benefits?] 
+Open issues are discussed, and possibilities for future work in areas such as 
interoperability,
+scalability and security are identified.
