In Conclusion:‘Persistent’ Questions....
• How does/might enhancement relate to the quality of an ‘argument’ presented in a scholarly publication?
• What solutions are available for the special challenges confronting EP:– Preserving / archiving dynamic objects in a Web environment– Inter-relating objects of EPs– Convincing key players (publishers, editors, authors) of added value
(and affordability) of EPs
