A autoria de hipertexto apoiada em tecnologia

Abstract

The term hypertext was introduced by Theodore Nelson in 1965 and, since then, several technological achievements have eased hypertext browsing. Notwithstanding, the process of hypertext authoring, mainly when it shares several points of view, is still a subject largely discussed among researchers in this field, with demands not yet addressed. One of such demands is easing the process of converting a linear text into hypertext. This work presents a review on related work about hypertext production, and proposes a strategy for digital retextualization, a process to build hypertext from linear texts. Additionally, a hypertext authoring tool to support this process is proposed. A sample application of the process and the use of the tool are presented, and they illustrate the feasibility of authoring hypertext with this strategy.
