ABSTRACT
As mentioned in the preface, the discussion in this book revolves around three questions. (1) What are the technical roadblocks for the emergence of I-2? (2) What are the features that must be incorporated into I-2’s architecture? (3) How does one build a prototype of I-2? In the quest for answers to these questions we have reviewed the design and evolution of two successful global infrastructures-the Internet and the web. The lessons embodied in the Internet and the web, as well as the discussion in the preceding chapters, are consolidated into the following set of recommendations that is intended to facilitate the ongoing efforts to build I-2.
