Hypermedia and Associated Concepts
نویسنده
چکیده
There has been considerable speculation of late that the design of hypermedia and Web-based systems warrants new methods different from those used in conventional software design (Kautz & Nørbjerg, 2003). However, much confusion abounds within this debate because fundamental concepts such as hypermedia, multimedia, and Web-based systems are rarely explicitly defined and it is often unclear what is actually meant. This article explains the following interrelated terms: multimedia, interactive multimedia, digital multimedia, interactive digital multimedia, hypertext, hypermedia, and Web-based systems. Such clarification is important because for research results to be comparable and scholarly discourse to be logical, there must be a common language.

Concepts for a Graphical User Interface for Hypermedia Retrieval
Which concepts are general and speci c enough to support hypermedia retrieval? We present in this paper a graphical user interface that makes explicit the following three key concepts for hypermedia retrieval: content of documents, facts about documents and structure of documents. The underlying model is based on a probabilistic object-oriented logic (POOL) that enables content-based querying, ...
متن کاملHypermedia Navigation Concepts for Lecture Recordings
This paper introduces a complete hypermedia navigation concept for lecture recordings, along with virtPresenter, a prototype software tool for automatic generation of hypermedia user interfaces for lecture recordings. A special focus is on how navigation concepts of hypertext have to be modified in order to work with continuous media.

متن کاملEncapsulation and information hiding as the keys to enhanced hypermedia development and maintenance
This paper presents a solution to the maintenance problem in hypermedia by applying object-oriented techniques to both the hypermedia data model and the hypermedia system’s actual implementation. First, the primary concepts of the “MESH” (Maintainable, End user friendly, Structured Hypermedia) approach are discussed briefly. These consist of a conceptual data model, a navigation paradigm and an...
متن کاملComputational Intelligence in Adaptive Educational Hypermedia
In this paper neuro-fuzzy synergism is applied to implement content sequencing in adaptive hypermedia systems. The level of understanding of the learner is used to construct lessons adapted to the learner’s knowledge goals and level of expertise on the domain concepts s/he has already studied. The learner’s evaluation is based on defining appropriate fuzzy sets and relate learner’s response wit...
