TLDR
A survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment.Abstract:
This article is a survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design. It is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and, at a deeper cut, a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment. The concept of hypertext is quite simple: Windows on the screen are associated with objects in a database, and links are provided between these objects, both graphically (as labelled tokens) and in the database (as pointers). But this simple idea is creating much excitement. Several universities have created laboratories for research on hypertext, many articles have been written about the concept just within the last year, and the Smithsonian Institute has created a demonstration laboratory to develop and display hypertext technologies.read more

Efficiency of Nested Relational Document Database Systems
TL;DR: This paper discusses how document storage and retrieval can be effectively supported in a nested relational database system with signature file indexing, and gives a detailed analysis of the space requirements and retrieval times of different document schemas in such a database system.

Revisiting Hypertext Infrastructure
TL;DR: This paper presents a novel design for multi-structure supporting, general purpose hypertext systems that can be used in a series of application domains and argues that this lets us use the hypertext system also as a visual analytics tool.

Towards a better support for hypermedia structuring: the HYDESIGN model
M. Marmann,Gunter Schlageter +1 more
TL;DR: The HYDESIGN project as discussed by the authors is a prototype of an extensible hypertext/hypermedia system that supports the design of higher level hypermedia objects beyond the basic node-link paradigm.

The Spatial Locality and a Spatial Indexing Method by Dynamic Clustering in Hypermap System
Ki-Joune Li,Robert Laurini +1 more
TL;DR: There are several researches on spatial indexing techniques, but due to the lack of comparative studies which must be based on the analysis of the nature of the spatial data, it is difficult to say that one is better than another.
