Résumé:
Modern hypertext applications require new system
support for hypertext authoring and user
navigation through large sets of documents
connected by links. This system support must be
based on advanced, typed data models for
describing the information structure in different
application domains. Schema based
structuring through strongly typed documents and
links has already been proposed and put to
practical use in
a multitude of hypertext applications.
Systems such as Multicard/O2
and MORE have moreover exploited
conceptual schemas for querying the resulting
hyperdocuments in a more structured way.
In this paper,
we show how hypertext schemas and query
languages can be utilized for designing
hypertext authoring
and browsing environments for large hypertexts. We illustrate our mechanisms using the Gram data model
and describe their implementation on top of the Multicard hypermedia system connected to the O2 object-oriented
database management system.
