Generic Hypermedia Structure and Presentation Specification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the generic hypermedia structure of a document to be a means of representing the document that allows it to be processed into a wide variety of presentations. Representing a document in this manner requires additional specification and resources to render it into any presentation. In this paper we discuss the relationship between the generic hypermedia structure of documents and the processing of this structure into presentation. Our discussion is expressed in terms of existing models for hypertext and hypermedia systems and also in terms of ISO standards for text and hypermedia document formatting and processing. The discussion and the resulting formalisms and the resulting formalisms are illustrated with extension designs for the hypermedia authoring and presentation environment developed at our laboratory.

متن کاملThe Amsterdam Hypermedia Model: Adding Time, Structure and Context to Hypertext
Hypermedia combines the variety of data types offered by multimedia with the content-based information association facilities of hypertext. On the surface, hypermedia is a simple and natural extension of both concepts: multimedia provides a richness is data expression, while hypertext provides an elegant way of navigating through the data. Unfortunately, not all of the constructs used to define...
متن کاملSynchronization Aspects of a Presentation Model for Hypermedia Documents with Composite Nodes
This paper outlines the synchronization aspects of a hypermedia presentation model, called Nested Context Presentation Model (NCPM), which has three major features. First, it allows authors to specify temporal synchronization constraints among events of interest within hypermedia documents. Second, it allows asynchronous material, such as user interaction links, or programs, to be combined with...
