“…Furthermore, it obfuscates one of the chief reasons for associating documents; that their contents are similar in some way. Conceptual Hypermedia Systems (CHS) specify the hypertext structure and behaviour in terms of a well-defined conceptual schema [7,28,33]. This types documents and links, and includes a conceptual domain model used to describe document content.…”

This paper describes the attempts of the COHSE project to define and deploy a Conceptual Open Hypermedia Service. Consisting of and integrated to form a conceptual hypermedia system to enable documents to be linked via metadata describing their contents and hence to improve the consistency and breadth of linking of WWW documents at retrieval time (as readers browse the documents) and authoring time (as authors create the documents).

“…In addition to the argumentationbased hypermedia models mentioned earlier, several other knowledge representation approaches have appeared in the hypertext literature, e.g., Petri nets [65,66], structured object representation [35], schemata [25,32,45], object-oriented hypermodelling [41], HyperSets [57], De Braet al's extensible data model [19] and high-level specification languages [61]. Other systems that make use of a knowledge representation include Hypermedia-based Argumentation DSS [30], Electronic Working Papers [17], MacWeb [51], IDE [33] and RelType [2]. In future papers we hope to compare implementations using bridge laws and a generalized hypermedia engine with systems using other knowledge representations.…”

The goal of this research is to provide hypermedia functionality to all information systems that interact with people. Hypermedia is a concept involving access to information, embodying the notions of context-sensitive navigation, annotation and tailored presentation. This paper presents the architecture of a system-level hypermedia engine, designed both to manage full hypermedia functionality for an information system and to bind interface-oriented front-end systems with separate computation-oriented back-end systems. The engine dynamically superimposes a hypermedia representation over a back-end application's knowledge components and processes. The hypermedia engine generates this representation using bridge laws, which capture the internal structure of client systems. Users access the application through its hypermedia representation. The paper also describes a set of minimal requirements for integrating the hypermedia engine with an information system. These guidelines apply to all integration efforts, not just that described here. Information systems will require some supplementary routines for the engine to manage hypermedia functionality for them. The more sophisticated and cooperative the information system, the higher the level of hypermedia support the engine will provide.Keywords: Bridge laws; Decision support systems; Filters; Hypertext; Hypermedia; Hypermedia engine; Information navigation; Information systems architecture; Integration A vision of hypermedia and information systemsWe envision a world in which information increasingly empowers people. Decision makers, analysts, researchers, trainees, students and casual browsers all will have access to information they need or desire, in a format tailored to their individual tasks and personal preferences.The concept of hypermedia embraces the spirit of such access to information and eventually, we believe, will be incorporated in the interfaces of all decision support systems (DSS), and indeed, all information systems that interact with people. (Various authors, e.g., [43], support this prediction.) Our research goals are to facilitate this integration and to produce tangible results. Once an information system includes hypermedia functionality, the specific applications it supports (e.g., worksheets within a spreadsheet package, models within a linear programming package and expert systems within an expert system shell) automatically become hypermedia applications. Users communicate in hypermedia's direct, context-sensitive fashion and hypermedia functions supplement the system's original commands.

We began this discussion in [7,8] by proposing a solution -a hypermedia engine that builders can integrate with their systems. From this we derived a starting set of minimal requirements for hypermedia integra...

“…Providing persistence to a hypertext system was the first motivation of this work. More generally, we were interested in 1) gaining a better understanding of the connection of hypertext systems with object-oriented database systems and 2) providing hypertext systems with typed nodes and links [11] in order to introduce new query facilities [2]. The latter issue will not be addressed in this paper.…”

We describe an integration of the hypermedia system HyperPATH with the object-oriented DBMS (OODBMS) O¡ . Providing persistence to a hypertext system was the first motivation of this work. More generally, we were interested in a better understanding of the connection of hypertext systems with OODBMS. One of our goals was to define an abstract interface between HyperPATH and a variety of OODBMS's. The solution adopted shows that opening HyperPATH to different OODBMS's is not possible without major rewriting of existing C++ code.
