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 language for queries on structure and contents of textual databases
TL;DR: The key idea of the model is that a set-oriented query language based on operations on nearby structure elements of one or more hierarchi es is quite expressive and efficiently implementable, being a good tradeoff between both goals.

Hypermedia and free text retrieval
TL;DR: This paper presents a hybrid between these two traditional fields of information retrieval, together with a technique for using contextual information to provide access, through query, to documents that cannot be accessed by content (e.g., images).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Domain-retargetable reverse engineering
TL;DR: A user programmable approach to reverse engineering is described, which uses a scripting language that enables users to write their own routines for these activities, making the system domain-retargetable.

Dilemmas in a general theory of planning
TL;DR: The search for scientific bases for confronting problems of social policy is bound to fail, becuase of the nature of these problems as discussed by the authors, whereas science has developed to deal with tame problems.
