TL;DR: A survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment.
Abstract: This article is a survey of existing hypertext systems, their applications, and their design. It is both an introduction to the world of hypertext and, at a deeper cut, a survey of some of the most important design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment. The concept of hypertext is quite simple: Windows on the screen are associated with objects in a database, and links are provided between these objects, both graphically (as labelled tokens) and in the database (as pointers). But this simple idea is creating much excitement. Several universities have created laboratories for research on hypertext, many articles have been written about the concept just within the last year, and the Smithsonian Institute has created a demonstration laboratory to develop and display hypertext technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system for automatically revising a hypertext document stored within a server connected to a computer network via an e-mail message is described. But the system is limited to a single document.
Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for automatically revising a hypertext document stored within a server connected to a computer network via an e-mail message. An e-mail message containing revisions to a hypertext document is generated and includes identification of a markup tag contained within the hypertext document. The e-mail message is transmitted to the server hosting the hypertext document via the computer network. After the e-mail message is authenticated, an identified markup tag within the hypertext document is replaced with revisions contained within the e-mail message. The revised hypertext document is then stored in a directory on the server.

TL;DR: In this transformation of a textbook to hypertext, the textbook is placed in an intermediate form based on a semantic net and is then placed into the four hypertext systems: Emacs-Info, Guide, HyperTies, and Super-Book.
Abstract: Traditional documents may be transformed into hypertext by first reflecting the document's logical markup in the hypertext (producing first-order hypertext) and then by adding links not evident in the document markup (producing second-order hypertext). In our transformation of a textbook to hypertext, the textbook is placed in an intermediate form based on a semantic net and is then placed into the four hypertext systems: Emacs-Info, Guide, HyperTies, and Super-Book. The first-order Guide and SuperBook hypertexts reflect a depth-first traversal of the semantic net, and the Emacs-Info and HyperTies hypertexts reflect a breadth-first traversal. The semantic net is augmented manually, and then new traversal programs automatically generate alternate outlines. An index based on work patterns in the textbook is also automatically generated for the second-order hypertext. Our suite of programs has been applied to a published textbook, and the resulting hypertexts are publicly available.

1 Apr 1997TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the process of rendering a hypertext document for storage in a non-interactive form (for example, printing a copy of the hypertext documents).
Abstract: Apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed for archiving a hypertext document that contains a hyperlink definition. Archiving is the process of rendering a hypertext document for storage in a noninteractive form (for example, printing a copy of the hypertext document). The archival copy of the hypertext document presents the reader with a URL, contained in the hyperlink definition, as an embedded note, a footnote, or an endnote. Thus a reader of the archived hypertext document knows the URL associated with the hyperlink definition.

TL;DR: Five hypertext navigational patterns were observed: Linear Traversal, Side Trip, Star, Extended Star, and Chaotic, which are recommended as a standard feature of future hypertext systems.
Abstract: This paper describes hypertext navigational patterns used by seven authors/readers using a general purpose hypertext editing system to create documents of personal relevance. Five patterns were observed: Linear Traversal, Side Trip, Star, Extended Star, and Chaotic. Navigation in these patterns was facilitated by software utilities allowing traversals among unlinked nodes. This capability is recommended as a standard feature of future hypertext systems.
