In this paper, we present HOME, a new environment for distributed hypermedia. We mainly concentrate on the server side, and provide access to World-Wide Web clients through a gateway mechanism. Data and metadata are strictly separated in the distributed HOME server. The architecture is based on a layered approach with separate layers for raw data, multimedia characteristics and hypermedia structure. We brie y present some of the implementation aspects and emphasise distinctive c haracteristics of HOME. We conclude with a comparison with related research and our plans for the future.
