TL;DR: Issues that designers need to address in the development of hypermedia systems are discussed including those that developers at the Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship implemented in the creation of Intermedia.

TL;DR: Several models for forming partitions in a hypertext database are examined and contexts, a partitioning scheme that supports multiperson cooperative efforts, are introduced.
