Wiktionary Hypermedia is a computer based information retrieval system that enables a user to gain or provide access to texts, audio and video recordings, photographs and computer graphics related to a particular subject. Hypermedia is a term created by Ted Nelson. Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlink s intertwine to create a generally non linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia , which may be used to describe non interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. It is also related to the field of Electronic literature .

Technical date September 2009 Nested Context Language NCL is a declarative authoring language for hypermedia documents. NCL is an XML application language, which provides several facilities for authoring a complete hypermedia document with synchronization relationships among its components. Among its main facilities, it treats hypermedia relations as first class entities through the definition of hypermedia connectors, and it can specify arbitrary semantics for a hypermedia composition using the concept of composite templates. Following others XML standards, NCL is specified by a modular approach. NCL modules can be added to standard web languages, such as XLink and Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language SMIL . NCL was initially designed for the Web environment, but currently it is included as the declarative language of the Japanese Brazilian ISDB Tb International Standard for Digital Broadcasting terrestrial DTV digital TV middleware named Ginga SBTVD Middleware Ginga . It is also the first standardized technology of the ITU T multimedia application framework series of specifications for IPTV services.

Context date November 2009 HyTime Hypermedia Time based Structuring Language is a markup language that is an application of SGML . HyTime defines a set of hypertext oriented element types that, in effect, supplement SGML and allow SGML document authors to build hypertext and multimedia presentations in a standardized way. HyTime is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization ISO and International Electrotechnical Commission IEC . The first edition was published in 1992, and the second edition was published in 1997. Legacy Some of the concepts formalized in HyTime were later incorporated into HTML and XML HTML is an application of SGML for hypertext document presentations, that assigns specific semantics and processing expectations to a fixed set of element types. XML defines a simplified subset of SGML that focuses on providing an open vocabulary of element types for data modeling and establishes precise expectations for how the markup computing marked up data is read and subsequently fed to another software application for further processing, but does not assign semantics to the element types or establish expectations for how the data is processed. XLink was intended as a simplified version of HyTime for use in the XML world, but has not seen much adoption. Work on applying HyTime to back of book indexes eventually led to the development of Topic Maps , which eventually became far more successful in its own right than HyTime ever was.

Orphan date February 2009 Hyperlexicon is a portmanteau of the words hypertext , hyperlexia , and lexicon . It is also the name of a hypertext labyrinth where the pages are words combined with their definitions, and any word included in Hyperlexicon is a link to its definition page. For some users of Hyperlexicon, its use creates various games, such as trying to find every page of the Hyperlexicon, or trying to find a particular page, or seeing how various pages are connected. Words synonymous with words defined in Hyperlexicon may be linked as well, and this creates some webs of word linkages that get very complicated and revealing.

HATEOAS , an abbreviation for Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State , is a constraint of the Representational State Transfer REST application architecture that distinguishes it from most other network application architectures. The principle is that a client interacts with a network application entirely through hypermedia provided dynamically by application servers. A REST client needs no prior knowledge about how to interact with any particular application or server beyond a generic understanding of hypermedia. Contrast this with e.g. a service oriented architecture SOA , where clients and servers interact through a fixed Interface computer science interface shared through documentation or an interface description language IDL . The HATEOAS constraint serves to decouple client and server in a way that allows the server to evolve functionality independently. Details A REST client enters a REST application through a simple fixed Uniform Resource Locator URL . All future actions the client may take are discovered within Resource Web resource representations returned from the server. The Internet media type media types used for these representations, and the link relation s they may contain, are standardized. The client transitions through application states by selecting from the links within a representation or by manipulating the representation in other ways afforded by its media type. In this way, RESTful interaction is driven by hypermedia, rather than out of band information. ref name untangled2008 A client does not need to understand every media type and communication mechanism offered by the server and this understanding may be improved on the fly through code on demand provided to the client by the server. ref name Fielding Ch5 Origins The HATEOAS constraint is an essential part of the uniform interface feature of REST, as defined in Roy Fielding Roy Fielding s doctoral dissertation. ref name Fielding Ch5 http www.ics.uci.edu fielding pubs dissertation rest ... more details

KMS , an abbreviation of Knowledge Management System , was a commercial second generation hypermedia system, originally created as a successor for the early hypermedia system ZOG hypertext ZOG . KMS was developed by Don McCracken and Rob Akscyn of Knowledge Systems, a 1981 spinoff from the Computer Science Department of Carnegie Mellon University. The purpose of KMS was to let many users collaborate in creating and sharing information within large, shared hypertext, and from the very beginning, the system was designed as a true multi user system. As a spatial hypermedia system, KMS was intended to represent all forms of explicit knowledge artifacts such as presentations, documents, databases, and software programs, as well as common forms of electronic communication electronic mail , community BBS bulletin board s, blog s . The central element in the KMS data model is that of screen sized pages called frames that are interconnected by hyperlink links . The user had the option at any time of switching between a view of a single frame good for large, landscape oriented diagrams or two side by side half screen views suitable for two portrait sized pages . Frames are always fixed size, meaning scrolling is not needed. The frame model is spatial rather than character based, so that text, graphics and images may always be placed anywhere in the frame, even overlapping one another. Another way to say this is that empty space in the frame actually denotes space, not as in many text editors just the absence of content. Frames being fixed in size scrolling as a form of interaction is eliminated as the designers felt that scrolling is suboptimal opting instead for larger aggregates such as documents and programs to be structured as hierarchies or more generally, lattices of hypermedia nodes. This flexibility makes it possible to create a document, search, run programs from a tree ... M. coauthors Donald L. McCracken and Elise A.

Intermedia was the third notable hypertext project to emerge from Brown University , after Hypertext Editing System HES 1967 and FRESS 1969 . Intermedia was started in 1985 by Norman Meyrowitz , who had been associated with earlier hypertext research at Brown. The Intermedia project coincided with the establishment of the Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship IRIS . Intermedia ran on A UX version 1.1. Intermedia was programmed using an object oriented toolkit and standard DBMS functions. Intermedia supported bi directional, dual anchor hyperlink links for both text and graphics. Small icons are used as anchor markers. Intermedia properties include author, creation date, title, and keywords. Link information is stored by the system apart from the source text. More than one such set of data can be kept, which allows each user to have their own web of information. Intermedia has complete multi user support, with three levels of access rights read, write, and annotate, which is similar to Unix permissions. As promising as Intermedia was, it used a lot of resources for its time it required 4 MB of Random access memory RAM and 80 MB of hard drive space in 1989 . It was also highly tied to A UX, a less popular Unix like operating system that ran on Apple Macintosh computers thus, it wasn t very portable. In 1991, changes in A UX and lack of funding ended the Intermedia project. References Nicole Yankelovich, Karen E. Smith, L. Nancy Garrett and Norman Meyrowitz.
