Building hypermedia applications as navigational views of information models

چکیده
In this paper we present a novel approach for defining hypermedia applications as navigational views of an object-oriented hypermedia schwma. We briefly describe OOHDM (Object-Oriented Hypermedia Design Model) using an academic information system as a concrete example to illustrate each modeling construct. We further analyze the whole process of hypermedia applications building focusing mainly on navigational design. The approach we propose allows clean separation of content design, navigational design and abstract interface design. Such separation of concerns allows seamless evolution from abstract domain models to concrete implementation of hypermedia applications, especially those .in which there is a wide range of information to be

Web Application Models Are More Than Conceptual Models
In this paper, we argue that web applications are a particular kind of hypermedia applications and show how to model their navigational structure. We motivate our paper discussing the most important problems in the design of complex Web applications. We argue that if we need to design applications combining hypermedia navigation with complex transactional behaviors (as in E-commerce systems), w...
متن کاملA Framework for Extending Object-oriented Applications with Hypermedia Functionality Alejandra Garrido and Gustavo
A core set of navigational aspects may be found by extracting the key features of hypermedia applications. Incorporated to an information system (IS), they may increase its utility and usability (1). This type of extension of an IS is called ‘The Hypertext Functionality Approach’ (2), and it may be done in different ways. In this paper we present a novel approach to add navigational features in...
