Building hypertext on a multimedia
toolkit
Mark Sherman
The toolkit approach to Hypermedia
J. Puttress N. Guimaraes They have
big hypertexts for program annotation:
2000 people, 2Mslocs of code. This
needs other tools and networking,
but they must be modified to suit
the specific needs. Linking should
be like cut-and-paste: a part of
the operating system.
Scenario-based hypermedia: amodel
and a system
R. Ogawa , H. Harada, A. Kaneko Honest
speaker, started out as follows:
"Why did I do this research? Well,
because I wanted to come to Paris."
Interesting treatment of the time
dimension: how do you browse if the
hypertext includes video scenes?
For example, can you click on the
(moving) image of a person and thereby
get his name? How to handle interruptions
to follow links to other info and
then come back and continue, etc.
