TL;DR: To investigate a number of user interface options in hypertext systems, a prototype system was designed in the form of a hypertext report on events at the 1987 hypertext workshop, implemented on an Apple Macintosh with Hypercard as the programming system.
Abstract: Hypertext (3), (19), (25) is becoming a popular approach to many computer applications, especially those dealing with the on-line presentation of large amounts of loosely structured information such as on-line documentation or computer-aided learning. There are still many issues concerning hypertext that remain to be resolved, however, many of which are in the user interface area. One of the major usability problems with hypertext is the user's risk of disorientation while navigating the information space. For example, our studies [23] showed that 56 percent of the readers of a document written in one of the most popular commercial hypertext systems agreed fully or partly with the statement I was often confused about ‘where I was. ’ To investigate a number of user interface options in hypertext systems we designed a prototype system in the form of a hypertext report on events at the 1987 hypertext workshop. This system was implemented on an Apple Macintosh with Hypercard as the programming system. (To get a feel for our hypertext system, the reader is encouraged to review Figures 1 to 10 which contain screen dumps of a session with the system and thus constitute a kind of printed demonstration or guided tour.) Hypertext is a very dynamic form of human-computer interaction and can only be fully appreciated in an interactive environment. However, even these figures give a much better understanding of the system than a traditional textual description could give.

TL;DR: The period since 1987 has been punctuated by many significant events, including the development of HyperCard, the establishing of the ACM Hypertext conference series, the founding of SIGLINK/SIGWEB, the rapid growth in the market for CD-ROM based multimedia applications, the widespread adoption of the WWW leading to the first truly large-scale hypertext application and the popularisation and commercialisation of hypertext concepts.
Abstract: The 1987 ACM Hypertext conference was seen by many as the catalyst for a significant period of growth in hypertext (and subsequently hypermedia) as a coherent research area and in its impact on the general public. The period since 1987 has been punctuated by many significant events, including the development and free distribution of HyperCard, the establishing of the ACM Hypertext conference series, the founding of SIGLINK/SIGWEB, the rapid growth in the market for CD-ROM based multimedia applications, the widespread adoption of the WWW leading to the first truly large-scale hypertext application and the popularisation and commercialisation of hypertext concepts, and the emergence of web2.0. Early among those events was the launch in 1989 by Taylor Graham Publishing of the first specialist journal Hypermedia.
