HyperView: Generating Virtual Hypermedia in Decentralized Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The emerging decentralized virtual organizations provide various environments for the collaborative work performed by the users distributed in terms of geography and time. In such virtual organizations, hypermedia documents should be observed and controlled to suit each organization's needs. We discuss the mechanisms in which environments of virtual organizations control views of shared hypermedia documents. HyperView, the view mechanisms proposed in this paper, utilizes environment objects which interact with the objects they contain. The participation relationships of the objects are used to generate deputy hypermedia sets, deputy hypermedia components and deputy PSpec (presentation speci cation) objects.

The HyperView approach to the integration of semistructured data
In order to use the World Wide Web to answer a specific question, one often has to collect and combine information from multiple Web sites. This task is aggravated by the structural and semantic heterogeneity of the Web. Virtual Web sites are a promising approach to solve this problem for particular, focused application domains. A virtual Web site is a Web site that serves pages containing conc...

Current virtual environment systems are primarily geometric, i.e. they consist of worlds whose objects are constructed of polygons that are occasionally textured. The majority of the current environments are also little more than sophisticated single system or low connectivity (one or two workstation) “fly-through” systems, direct descendants of the traditional flight simulator. As virtual envi...
