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

A methodology for user centred link structures for textbook to hypertext conversion
TL;DR: The authors believe that users will read and make use of hypertext if the link structures support readers' goals and if the hypertext can provide a 'personal feel' that linear textbooks provide.

A semantic database approach to knowledge-based hypermedia systems
TL;DR: The aim of this work is to demonstrate the flexibility of the architecture in serving the needs of a number of distinct user groups and to demonstrate that the virtual architecture is capable of supporting some of the main hypermedia access methods.
