“…Displets provide a principled way to extend HTML. In their proof of concept implementation the authors implemented among others a displet for anchor groups (a way to implement multi-endpoint links (see also [4]) and anchor labels. Because displets are implemented as Java classes, they may show any image as well but they lack the server-side component which generates the preview images.…”

“…Bieber et al [4] categorize hypermedia environments in four generations in analogy to programming languages (machine languages, assembler languages, high-level programming languages, and finally packages like word processors which let users concentrate on what they want to do). They believe that current authors and readers of the World Wide Web are working in a second-generation hypermedia environment.…”

This paper demonstrates a technique for augmenting current World Wide Web browser implementations with features found in classical hypertext applications but unknown to the World Wide Web community until now. An example implementation is shown using Netscape Navigator 4.x using JavaScript, dynamic HTML and Java. The implementation follows an architecture based on a proxy server which acts as a gateway between the Internet and the browsing client. Based on the detailed example, support for further features is discussed.

“…Early, pre-Web hypertext systems have already demonstrated (on a small scale) the power of features such as semantically typed nodes and links, bidirectional links, composite nodes which represent more complex structures, and structural searching. It is increasingly recognised that the Web would benefit from such features (see for instance an analysis of 'fourth generation' Web functionality [4]). …”

Abstract. This paper is concerned with tracking and interpreting scholarly documents in distributed research communities. We argue that current approaches to document description, and current technological infrastructures particularly over the World Wide Web, provide poor support for these tasks. We describe the design of a digital library server which will enable authors to submit a summary of the contributions they claim their documents makes, and its relations to the literature. We describe a knowledge-based Web environment to support the emergence of such a community-constructed semantic hypertext, and the services it could provide to assist the interpretation of an idea or document in the context of its literature. The discussion considers in detail how the approach addresses usability issues associated with knowledge structuring environments.

“…Hypermedia concerns structuring, presenting and giving users direct access to the content and interconnections within an information domain. A hypermedia vantage point encourages designers to consider a system in terms of the relationships among its objects and processes, focusing on what users might want to access and how users should access them [14,15].…”

Hypermedia structuring and navigation requires design methodologies different from those developed for standard information systems. This case study details our successful application of relationship management methodology (RMM), a hypermedia systems analysis and design methodology, to ACM SIGLINK's LINKBase. LINKBase is a World Wide Web (WWW) application, which dynamically generates WWW pages from a relational database containing information about hypermedia-related events such as conferences, publications, authors, and sponsoring organizations. We describe our experience applying RMM in this case study, summarize design lessons we learned in the process, present extensions to RMM, discuss human-computer interaction (HCI) aspects of RMM, and ground our work in the hypermedia design and HCI literature. Our experiences should encourage hypermedia and WWW developers to utilize systematic design techniques to build highly usable and useful WWW applications. r
