Dynamic hypertext: querying and linking

1999

Abstract: There are many models of hypertext, distinguished by a number of factors such as the underlying semantic data model (link typing and node typing), the degree of dynamic linking in the hypertext, and how dynamism and other behaviours are implemented. This essay examines a particular approach to dynamism in hypertext, based on the degree of similarity between a text passage in a source node and the text of a target node.

Modelling versioned hypertext documents

System Configuration Management, 1998

Versioning of hypertext documents is in many aspects very similar to versioning of software systems (and their components). In the paper we concentrate on an analysis of similarities and di erences between them with the intention of possibly nding in the area of software con guration management a starting point for a new method of version control in hypertext systems. Then, we h a ve proposed a model of a hypertext document which takes into account the perspective of its permanent c hange. Hypertext documents are modelled by t wo kinds of nodes in an AND/OR graph. The model forms a basis for building a con guration.

Hypertext versioning for embedded link models

2004

Abstract In this paper, we describe Chrysant, a hypertext version control system for embedded link models. Chrysant provides general-purpose versioning capability to hypertext systems with an embedded link model. To apply Chrysant for a specific hypertext system, we require the containment model for this system's data model, the containment model of the version repository for this system, the hypertext role definition, the versioning role definition, and the filesystem mapping definition.

Proceedings of the Workshop on Versioning in Hypertext Systems

1995

This report contains 9 papers presented at a workshop on version management and hypertext, as well as a summary introduction by the organizers. These papers address requirements, solutions, and research issues related to the management of hypertext databases. Version management is not only a key application requirement in some domains (like design journals and electronic manuals) but provides a way to preserve the integrity of links in a changing hyperbase.

Revisiting Hypertext Infrastructure

Proceedings of the 28th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media

Specialized systems aiming at o ering hypertext functionality in users' computing have been discussed since the early days of hypertext. However, with the claim to also support other structure domains than node-link structures, hypertext systems had to overcome some challenges. Researchers came up with component-based approaches and low level structure services. Due to the raising omnipresence of the Web, research on traditional hypertext systems has been fading out over the past decade. is paper focuses again on hypertext infrastructures and goes beyond ongoing Web discussions. Based on lessons learned from well thought through previous work, we present a novel design for multi-structure supporting, general purpose hypertext systems that can be used in a series of application domains. e system provides intelligence analysis which is needed for sophisticated user support. We argue that this lets us use the hypertext system also as a visual analytics tool. Furthermore, for demonstration purposes we describe the use of the system in combination with a Web-based so ware engineering platform, which is part of the ongoing project ODIN.

Second international Workshop on Dynamic and Adaptive Hypertext

2011

Dynamically generated hypertext adapted and personalized to the users/needs and abilities has proven to be a very successful technique over the last decade and a half. It is particularly helpful for reducing the information overload that frequently occurs in the modern information: driven world. Adaptive hypertext is equally effective for accessing many types of items, be it news, products, artifacts or descriptions thereof in electronic shops, libraries or museums, or even learning materials.

On product versioning for hypertexts

Proceedings of the 12th international workshop on Software configuration management - SCM '05, 2005

Versioned hypermedia has shown its success in promoting better understanding and management of evolving document collections in many domains. However, providing versioning capability for a hypermedia system raises several important structural and cognitive issues. Our research has produced Molhado, the first hypermedia infrastructure that applies the product versioning model to versioned hypermedia. Molhado not only supports configuration management for hypermedia structures in a fine-grained manner, but also provides version control for individual hyperlinks and document nodes. This paper explains how the product versioning model in Molhado addresses serious issues identified by earlier research on versioned hypermedia. We will also discuss the new issues raised by using this versioning model.
