The loss of NLS/Augment, which ran on PDP-10 computers, is often cited as the definitive caution. Intermedia was largely salvaged through migration to Storyspace and then to the Web. (The threat of extinction may have been less urgent than it seemed. Was urgently required to ensure survival of hypertexts should Interchange was often desired to facilitateĬomparison of competing features, and too often interchange Was driven by desire to move hypertexts between separate In the early era of hypertext research, demand for interchange Standardization would foreclose promising areas of research. Has always been tempered by concerns that the standard wouldĮxclude necessary capabilities or that premature Representations and formats, but the desire for standardization Would be simplified if all systems adopted standard New writing and visualization tools and new media, we oftenĭesire interchange with other hypertext systems and withĬonventional word processors and Web browsers. Hypertext research has long been concerned with hypertext Importing texts into a hypertext, or in exporting a hypertext to The application's data model, and so they seem extrinsic to theĪpplication's vision. Import and export necessarily take place outside Useful when adopting new products or when wishing to sell Import and export, the glue that connects disparateĪpplications, are customarily regarded as secondary features, LINKS FOR A SPECIFIC CONTEXT: EXPORT AND INTERCHANGE Their discovery, refinement, or formalization.Ģ. Well in making these structures apparent or in encouraging Hypertext tools (including Tinderbox) appear to succeed very Which they give rise have not been widely discussed, nor do Unprecedented among hypertext systems, but the structures to Patterns of links occur in facilities that are far from Hypertextual relationships that appear in Tinderbox, a spatial hypertext system. In these preliminary notes, I point out several unexpected Popular, most writers appear satisfied with the earlyĭescriptions of its rhetoric and patterns of connection.
