Design Issues for a Dexter-Based Hypermedia System
index terms, PDF
Excerpt:
This article discusses experiences and lessons learned from the
design of an open hypermedia system, one that integrates applications
and data not "owned" by the hypermedia. The work was conducted
under the auspices of the DeVise project at the computer science
department of Aarhus University. Denmark [5].
The DeVise project
is developing general
tools to
support experimental system development and cooperative design
in a variety of application areas including large
engineering projects. The intensely collaborative, open
ended work characteristics of such settings made demands
beyond the cross linking traditionally supported
by hypermedia. These include a shared
database, access from multiple platforms, portability,
extensibility and tallorability. (For a detailed
discussion of our engineering project use setting and
its CSCW and hypermedia requirements. see [3, 4].)
