TLDR
NoteCards is presented 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.
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.

Interacting with hypertext: a meta-analysis of experimental studies

TL;DR: The meta-analysis showed that the overall performance of hypertext users tended to be more effective than that of nonhypertext users, but the differences in efficiency measures were consistently in favor of nonHypertext users.

Petri-net-based hypertext: document structure with browsing semantics

TL;DR: A formal definition of the Trellis model of hypertext is presented and an authoring and browsing prototype called αTrellis that is based on the model is described, which is a generalization of existing directed graph-based forms ofhypertext.
