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.

Emerging frameworks for tangible user interfaces

TL;DR: The MCRpd interaction model for tangible interfaces as discussed by the authors is a conceptual framework for tangible user interfaces, which relates the role of physical and digital representations, physical control, and underlying digital models.

The Dexter hypertext reference model

TL;DR: The Dexter hypertext reference model as mentioned in this paper is an attempt to capture, both formally and informally, the important abstractions found in a wide range of existing and future hypertext systems, providing a principled basis for comparing systems as well as for developing interchange and interoperability standards.

HDM—a model-based approach to hypertext application design

TL;DR: The paper presents HDM (Hypertext Design Model), a first step towards defining a general purpose model for authoring-in-the-large, and the central advantages of HDM in the design and practical construction of hypertext applications is that the definition of a significant number of links can be derived automatically from a conceptual-design level description.
