 The fundamental ideas in what we call hyperstructure are due to Ted Nelson.

 to hyperstructure were retained, as well as the use of the basic Xanalogical

+RDF and ZigZag(tm) structure are actually closely
+related: ZigZag(tm) is obtained if a RDF graph is constrained
+by two uniqueness conditions: for all x, y, there can be
+at most one triple of the form (x, y, *),  and

+While the ZigZag(tm) structure is simpler to browse locally,
+programming is more difficult since representing one-to-many
