“…Existing hypermedia solutions have been challenged by more recent approaches such as structural computing where structure is treated as a first-class citizen and the focus is no longer on the data [11]. As we show in the next section, our model treats data, navigational as well as structural metadata at the same level.…”

What Is Wrong with Digital Documents? A Conceptual Model for Structural Cross-Media Content Composition and Reuse

Many of today's digital document formats are strongly based on a digital emulation of printed media. While such a paper simulation might be appropriate for the visualisation of certain digital content, it is generally not the most effective solution for digitally managing and storing information. The oversimplistic modelling of digital documents as monolithic blocks of linear content, with a lack of structural semantics, does not pay attention to some of the superior features that digital media offers in comparison to traditional paper documents. For example, existing digital document formats adopt the limitations of paper documents by unnecessarily replicating content via copy and paste operations, instead of digitally embedding and reusing parts of digital documents via structural references. We introduce a conceptual model for structural cross-media content composition and highlight how the proposed solution not only enables the reuse of content via structural relationships, but also supports dynamic and context-dependent document adaptation, structural content annotations as well as the integration of arbitrary nontextual media types. We further discuss solutions for the fluid navigation and cross-media content publishing based on the proposed structural cross-media content model.

“…For example, HyperReal [16] is a mixed reality model that introduces the concept of map components for managing geographical data. In addition, existing hypermedia solutions have also been challenged by new ideas such as the structural computing approach that treats structure as a first-class citizen and no longer puts the focus on the data [17].…”

Many hypermedia models have been proposed, including those specifically developed to model navigational aspects of web sites. But few hypermedia systems have been implemented based on metamodelling principles familiar to the database community. Often there is no clear separation between conceptual and technical issues in the models and their implementations are not based on an explicit representation of a metamodel. This results in a loss of generality and uniformity across systems. Based on principles of metamodel-driven system development, we have implemented a platform that can support various categories of hypermedia systems through the generality and extensibility of the metamodel. We present our metamodel and show how it generalises concepts present in a range of hypermedia and link server systems.

“…This research has resulted in innovative, but not easily usable services. These systems have never had the opportunity to meet global adoption and usage [1]. One significant reason for this phenomenon is that any hypermedia-unaware third-party developer faces several difficulties when the time comes to integrate hypermedia services into his own existing system [2].…”

Hypermedia systems' researchers investigate the various approaches in the way documents and resources are linked, navigated and stored in a distributed environment. Unfortunately, those systems fail to provide effortlessly usable discrete services, since it is difficult both to discover and to invoke any of them. This paper proposes the usage of emerging technologies that try to augment the Web resources with semantics in order to provide Hypermedia services that can be easily discovered, and integrated by potential third party developers. In this context, we analyze the benefits for the Hypermedia community upon the adoption of Semantic Web technologies for the description of Hypermedia services, and we implement an initial corresponding ontology.
