چکیده

This paper presents a conceptual model for hypermedia systems that, among other features, supports versioning, permits exploring and managing alternate configurations, maintains document histories, supports cooperative work and provides automatic propagation of version changes. In general, the model was designed to minimize the cognitive overhead imposed on the user by version manipulation. The discussion about version control is phrased in terms of the Nested Context Model, but the major ideas apply to any hypermedia conceptual model that offers nested composite nodes. Briefly, nodes that represent versions of the same object at some level of abstraction are grouped together using the concept of version context, support for cooperative work is based on the idea of public hyperbase and private bases, and the problem of version proliferation is addressed using the concept of current perspective. Finally, the paper also presents a generic layered architecture for hypermedia systems with four major interfaces and shows how it matches the conceptual model.

An Open Hypermedia System with Nested Composite Nodes and Version Control

This paper presents a conceptual model for hypermedia that, among other features, supports versions sets, permits exploring and managing alternate configurations, maintains document histories, supports cooperative work and provides automatic propagation of version changes. The concept of version context is used to group together nodes that represent versions of the same object at some level of ...

Synchronization Aspects of a Presentation Model for Hypermedia Documents with Composite Nodes

This paper outlines the synchronization aspects of a hypermedia presentation model, called Nested Context Presentation Model (NCPM), which has three major features. First, it allows authors to specify temporal synchronization constraints among events of interest within hypermedia documents. Second, it allows asynchronous material, such as user interaction links, or programs, to be combined with...

Anchors and Links for Nested Composite Nodes

This paper focuses on the definition of anchors and links for nested composite nodes, that is, composite nodes containing other composite nodes. It considers questions such as link inheritance and node reference, which become fairly complex in the presence of nested compositions. Then, the paper extends the discussion to include virtual anchors and links, defined by expressions in an appropriat...
