Abstract

In this paper, we describe a model for hypermedia systems that aims to reduce the main problems present in the development of these systems. This model, called SEM-HP, is defined as systemic, semantic, adaptive and evolutionary. It is systemic because it separates the aspects of representation, presentation, navigation and adaptation of the hypermedia into four subsystems; semantic because it makes explicit the meaning of the offered information; adaptive because its functioning varies according to the features of the user navigating it; and evolutionary because it supports mechanisms that allow the author to restructure the hypermedia in a flexible and consistent way. The paper also presents and details a method called Adaptation by Feedback, which analyzes and integrates the navigational behaviour of the users browsing the hypermedia, compares the structures traced by the users with those previously defined by the author, and suggests the necessary modifications so that by using the evolutionary capacity of the system the author can bring both structures closer.
