| Abstract: | The goal of this research is to provide hypermedia functionality to all
information systems that interact with people. Hypermedia is a concept
involving access to information, embodying the notions of
context-sensitive navigation, annotation and tailored presentation. We
present the architecture of a system-level hypermedia engine, designed
both to manage full hypermedia functionality for an information system
and to bind interface-oriented front-end systems with separate
computation-oriented back-end systems. The engine dynamically
superimposes a hypermedia representation over a back-end application's
knowledge components and processes. The hypermedia engine generates this
representation using bridge laws, which capture the internal structure
of client systems. Users access the application through its hypermedia
representation. We also describe a set of minimal requirements for
integrating our hypermedia engine with an information system. We believe
these guidelines apply to all integration efforts, not just our own.
Information systems will require some supplementary routines for the
engine to manage hypermedia functionality for them. The more
sophisticated and cooperative the information system, the higher the
level of hypermedia support the engine will provide. |
