“…Halasz [13] required typed links, even composite links, in his late "seven issues" article, back in 1988. Manfred Thüring et al [20] put up eight design principles and ten cognitive design issues to increase global and local coherence of hyperdocuments, one of them being "use typed link labels". However, typed links are (i) not yet well supported, and (ii) not sufficient.…”

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.

“…31 Likewise, Thüring et al suggest that presenting a hypertext document's structure to the audience is a necessary component 'for reducing the mental effort of comprehension'. 32 Rivlin et al offer a similar sentiment. 33 This visual communication of structure has the potential to allow the audience to better understand the highlevel concepts of a presentation and properly fit them into their own mental frameworks.…”

“…This problem is increased in an open learning space because the quantity of information is much larger and the information is not organized with clear learning objectives. Thus, learners can easily become overwhelmed and discouraged during learning [20]. One way to eliminate the difficulty is prompting question generation and answering activities (inquiry-based learning) [2], [14].…”

SUMMARYThe purpose of this research is to support learners in selfdirected learning on the Internet using automatically generated support using the current state of the semantic web. The main issue of creating meaningful content-dependent questions automatically is that it requires the machine to understand the concepts in the learning domain. The originality of this work is that it uses Linked Open Data (LOD) to enable meaningful content-dependent support in open learning space. Learners are supported by a learning environment, the Semantic Open Learning Space (SOLS). Learners use the system to build a concept map representing their knowledge. SOLS supports learners following the principle of inquiry-based learning. Learners that request help are provided with automatically generated questions that give them learning objectives. To verify whether the current system can support learners with fully automatically generated support, we evaluated the system with three objectives: judge whether the LOD based support was feasible and useful, whether the question support improved the development of historical considerations in the learners' mind and whether the engagement of learners was improved by the question support. The results showed that LOD based support was feasible. Learners felt that the support provided was useful and helped them learn. The question support succeeded in improving the development of learners' deep historical considerations. In addition, the engagement and interest in history of learners was improved by the questions.
