Abstract

This panel will employ two different interpretations of the phrase “growing up” to address areas of common interest between hypertext and information retrieval researchers. First, the panelists will question whether or not hypertext is “growing up” as a scientific discipline; They will discuss characteristics that separate hypertext research from other related disciplines. Second, the panelists will discuss the problems encountered when a hypertext system “grows up” in size and complexity; They will discuss the very real problems expected when representing and integrating large knowledge bases, accommodating multiple users, and distributing single logical hypertexts across multiple physical sites.

The panelists will not lecture, but they will advance a number of themes including “the Myth of Modularity” (Frisse), “New Architectures Employing Hyperconcept Databases” (Agosti), “Hypertext in Software Engineering” (Bruandet), “Automatic Hypertext Generation” (Hahn), and “Large-Scale Hypertexts” (Weiss).

Feral hypertext: when hypertext literature escapes control
HYPERTEXT '05: Proceedings of the sixteenth ACM conference on Hypertext and hypermedia

This paper presents a historical view of hypertext looking at pre-web hypertext as a domesticated species bred in captivity, and arguing that on the web, some breeds of hypertext have gone feral. Feral hypertext is no longer tame and domesticated, but ...
Hypertext and paper: A special synergy

Some people argue that hypertext is easy to write, is hard to create by converting existing text into hypertext, and has a massive market. This paper argues the contrary. First, hypertext is hard to write. Second, automatically converting a text into ...
Standardizing Hypertext: Where Next for OHP?
OHS-6/SC-2: Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop and 2nd International Workshop on Open Hypertext Systems and Structural Computing

Over the last six years the Open Hypermedia Systems Working Group (OHSWG) has been working in a coordinated effort to produce a protocol which will allow components of an Open Hypermedia System to talk to one another in a standardised manner. In this ...
