Large engineering enterprises are just one application area of open hypermedia systems (OHS), which are characterized by both, open hyperbase and link server functionality. An open hyperbase allows besides others to store and retrieve an extensible set of hypermedia objects. A link server allows to store and retrieve connectivity information and supports consistency management thereof. To provi...
