| Abstract: | The function of a design model in a hypermedia project is to provide a
formal method for specifying the multimedia data objects that are to be
stored and the screens and navigational paths that are to be provided to
users. This formal expression provides a way to communicate design
decisions and to automatically generate and maintain hypermedia
applications. The RMM approach to hypermedia and WWW design [Isakowitz
et al 95] has been successfully applied in a number of real world
applications over the last few years. In this paper, we extend the RMM
model in two ways. First, we develop an approach to handle the
"unstructured" components of the hypermedia applications such
as those on the World Wide Web (WWW). Second, we show how dynamic
(program) elements can be represented in the model thus facilitating its
application to a wider range of multimedia and especially, to Java
applications. These extensions were developed as a result of an attempt
to simulate the design of a commercial multimedia encyclopedia. The
resulting design is used to illustrate the new HM design concepts. |
