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

Multidimensional taxonomy of learners cognitive processing in discourse synthesis with hypermedia
TL;DR: The study showed that the learners’ electronic discourse synthesis is a problem-solving activity, which calls into play a variety of cognitive processes, including cognitive and metacognitive processes, physical operations, affective responses, reasoning and inter-textual interpreting.
Query processing for heterogeneous data integration using ontologies
Isabel F. Cruz,Huiyong Xiao +1 more
TL;DR: This thesis proposes a series of ontology-based approaches to resolve the heterogeneities, including syntactic heterogeneity, schematic heterogeneity, and semantic heterogeneity, so as to achieve data inter operability.

Signposts on the digital highway
TL;DR: The results showed a decisive overall advantage for previews in terms of efficiency, but no effects on effectiveness or appreciation, and a post hoc analysis showed a learning effect of pragmatic previews that was absent in the semantic preview condition.
