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

Distributed hypertext for collaborative research: the virtual notebook system
TL;DR: The Virtual Notebook System is an electronic analog to the scientist's notebook, and it functions as the repository of data, hypotheses and notes, patient information and the like, but unlike the traditional notebook, the VNS is expressly designed to enhance information sharing among the members of scientific teams.
