| 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. This
paper presents 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. The paper also describes a set of minimal requirements
for integrating the hypermedia engine with an information system. These
guidelines apply to all integration efforts, not just that described
here. 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. |
