Mental Models and Hypermedia User Interface Design
نویسنده
چکیده
This article emphasizes the significance of the user interface design to the development of an accurate mental or conceptual model by the users of a hypermedia computer system. It begins with a review of the role of mental/conceptual models and their importance to hypermedia users. Also discussed are the role of the user interface in hypermedia systems and specific design issues that impact the user interface and mental model.

On designing comprehensible interactive hypermedia manuals
User’s mental representations and cognitive strategies can have a profound influence on how they interact with computer interfaces (Janosky, Smith & Hildreth, 1986). However, there is very little research that elucidates such mental representations and strategies in the context of interactive hypermedia. Furthermore, interface design for hypermedia information presentation systems is rarely dri...
متن کاملVisualizing and interacting with hypermedia-based process-centric enterprise models
Interoperability and cross-fertilization of multiple hypermedia domains are relatively new concerns to the open hypermedia and structural computing community. Recent work in this area has explored integrated data models and component-based structural service architectures. This paper focuses on the user interface aspects relating to client applications of the structural services. It presents an...

This paper presents an object-oriented approach to specifying the user interface of a hypermedia application using the Abstract Data Views (ADVs) concept. We discuss ADVs in the context of an object-oriented hypermedia design method (OOHDM) showing how to specify the interface aspects of hypermedia objects including nodes, links and access structures such as indexes and guided tours using high-...

In comparison to basic web information which mainly provides static information within minimal interaction aspects, there is a need for web application to contain more complex and specific information throughout its domain structure. Web application has significant information compositions such as its domain processes, users’ interaction, content structures, dynamic navigation links, and user i...
متن کاملBuilding hypermedia applications as navigational views of information models
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 ...
