Fourth generation hypermedia: some missing links for the World Wide Web
نویسندگان
چکیده
World Wide Web authors must cope in a hypermedia environment analogous to second-generation computing languages, building and managing most hypermedia links using simple anchors and single-step navigation. Following this analogy, sophisticated application environments on the World Wide Web will require thirdand fourthgeneration hypermedia features. Implementing thirdand fourth-generation hypermedia involves designing both high-level hypermedia features and the high-level authoring environments system developers build for authors to specify them. We present a set of high-level hypermedia features including typed nodes and links, link attributes, structurebased query, transclusions, warm and hot links, private and public links, hypermedia access permissions, computed personalized links, external link databases, link update mechanisms, overviews, trails, guided tours, backtracking and history-based navigation. We ground our discussion in the hypermedia research literature, and illustrate each feature both from existing implementations and a running scenario. We also give some direction for implementing these on the World Wide Web and in other information systems. ( 1997 Academic Press Limited

متن کاملUser Interface Challenges of Multiple Hypermedia Domains on the World Wide Web
Hypermedia is all about structure. Links represent just one type of structure, navigational. Modern hypermedia systems provide support for additional types of structures (hypermedia domains) as well including spatial, taxonomic, and argumentation. This paper examines the user interface challenges of providing support for multiple hypermedia domains inside Web browsers. A framework for investiga...

متن کاملAn Inquiry-led Personalised Navigation System (IPNS) using multi-dimensional linkbases
The simplicity of the hypertext model behind the World Wide Web is a factor in its success, but this simplicity brings limitations. One of these limitations is embedding links in documents. Open Hypermedia addresses this by instead storing them in separate link databases. Meanwhile, the Adaptive Hypermedia approach seeks to enhance a user’s experience by inserting personalised additional conten...
