Previous Webs

I see that the NYTimes has an article in their Science section on Belgian Paul Otlet's Mundaneum, a previous attempt at the idea of a knowledge network. Pre-computer and way before the Web, and even before Vannevar Bush's Memex idea. In 1934. Read about it previously as background for some speech writing, though it is still little known. I note that the Memex has a very short definitional article in the Britannica, and the Mundaneum no mention at all.
