Abstract
NoteCards, developed by a team at Xerox PARC, was designed to support the task of transforming a chaotic collection of unrelated thoughts into an integrated, orderly interpretation of ideas and their interconnections. This article presents NoteCards as a foil against which to explore some of the major limitations of the current generation of hypermedia systems, and characterizes the issues that must be addressed in designing the next generation systems.

Beyond intelligent interfaces: Exploring, analyzing, and creating success models of cooperative problem solving

TL;DR: This work shows how the conceptual framework behind a given system determines crucial aspects of the system's behavior, and conducts an empirical study of a success model of cooperative problem solving between people in a large hardware store.

Elastic Windows: a hierarchical multi-window World-Wide Web browser

TL;DR: A new browsing interface is proposed with multiple hierarchical windows and efficient multiple window operations that provides a flexible environment where users can quickly organize, filter, and restructure the information on the screen as they reformulate their goals.

Supporting the construction and evolution of component repositories

TL;DR: An approach in which minimal initial structure is used to effectively find relevant software components while methods are employed to incrementally improve repository structures is outlined, resulting in a flexible software repository that minimizes up-front costs and improves its retrieval effectiveness as developers use it to find reusable software artifacts.

Supporting search for reusable software objects

TL;DR: This article proposes automated support tools, including ORCA, a software Object Reuse Classification Analyzer, and AMHYRST, an Automated HYpertext-based Reuse Search Tool, that are based on a faceted classification approach that can be implemented using hypertext.
