Advanced Tutorial in Hypermedia Research
Norman Meyrowitz , IRIS
Overview
I have a paper copy of the transparencies
to this tutorial.
- An overview of terminology, aimed
at getting perople to use the same
terms. His were basically the same
as ours .
- Multi-User Hypermedia
- Inter-Network Hypermedia
- Information Retrieval and Hypermedia
- HyperText and text Markup
- Links to and from temporal media
- The structural model vs. the programming
model.
The conclusion of this talk was the
presentation of a software architecture
for the next generation of hypertext
systems. This differed in some ways
from the WorldWideWeb architecture,
and was therefore interesting. The
architecure was designed to handle
Inter-network hypermedia ("an up-and-coming
area of research"). The model was
that:-
- The operating system should include
link services which all applications
will be encouraged to use, so that
inter-application jumps will be possible.
- The link information will be stored
separately from the documents in
a database in each filesystem.
- Details of each link will be stored
by both the source and destination
link servers.
- There will be a common file system
which will allow remote applications
to access the document when they
follow a link.
- There will be common document formats,
so that common access to files is
all that is needed for document interchange.
