Are we talking about the same structure?: a unified approach to hypertext links, xml, rdf and zigzag

Published:19 June 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

There are many different hypertext systems and paradigms, each with their apparent advantages. However the distinctions are perhaps not as significant as they seem. If we can reduce the core linking functionality to some common structure, which allows us to consider hypertext systems within a common model, we could identify what, if anything, distinguishes hypertext systems from each other. This paper offers such a common structure, showing the conceptual similarities between each of these systems and paradigms.
