Hyper - G : A New Tool for Distributed Hypermedia
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes Hyper-G, a new hypermedia information system which combines the best of Gopher, WAIS, and World Wide Web. Hyper-G is speci cally designed as a distributed, large-scale hypermedia information system supporting navigation in a large body of dynamically changing information without becoming \lost in hyperspace". Users may choose a hierarchical navigation paradigm, click on hyper-links, go on guided tours, or perform variable-scope searches. This paper presents Hyper-G from the user's perspective, outlines the basic architecture of the system, and describes its interaction with existing distributed information retrieval tools like Gopher, WAIS, and World Wide Web.

متن کاملA Transfer Protocol for an Open Hyperdocument Model Server
The http protocol is a fundamental component of the current design of WWW. It provides a bulk transfer mode of operation, suitable for today’s networks of limited bandwidth. The protocol for Hyper-G is similar, with important extensions for Hyper-G concepts of links, anchors, search and collections. We discuss a bulk transfer hyperdocument protocol for a distributed hypermedia system which perm...
