Hypertext and Hypermedia Pdf Hypertext and hypermedia pdf Continue The term hypertext has been used over the past three decades to expand the functionality of the traditional form of linear text. What follows a sequential path is called linear, like a book that is usually read from start to finish, thus following a consistent order. Advances in the technology and evolution of the Internet, however, have enabled programmers to develop much more complex ways of reading traditional text, such as hypertext. This simply allows the cross-indexing content or information to be embedded in the crevices of the text as links that would allow the reader to move from one place to another within the same or another document. Hypermedia is a hypertext supernet used in a much broader sense and is not limited in text. These two terms are relative but are used in different contexts when it comes to multimedia applications. What is hypertext? Hypertext is a powerful cross-reference tool designed to reach users to an ocean of wealth of interconnected information, either static or dynamic in electronic format. Simply put, hypertext can refer to simple simple text that contains links to access to other snippets of text in the same or other document. It provides tools to organize and present information in a way that is easily accessible to end users. It's more like a user-driven tool to present textual information that is related to each other to provide more flexibility and a greater degree of control. This allows users or readers to move from one place to another through hyperlinks or links to go on. Links connect to other documents and are usually activated when you click on a mouse or other pointing device. What is Hypermedia? Hypermedia is a continuation of hypertext that uses multiple forms of media, such as text, graphics, audio or video sequences, still or moving graphics etc. It expands the capabilities of hypertext systems by creating interactive links to web pages to create a network of interconnected non-linear information with which the user can both access and interact with them for better multimedia interaction. The most common type of hypermedia is links to images that are often associated with other web pages. It is used in applications ranging from problem solving and quality research to e-learning and complex learning. The difference between Hypertext and Hypermedia Definition Hypertext just refers to which contains links to other pieces of text to which the user is usually sent by click or keypress. Documents are linked to each other using hyperlinks that allow users to move from one document to another within the same or different web pages. Hypermedia, on the other hand, is an extension of the term hypertext, used in a similar way it is not limited to text elements. In fact, hypermedia contains various elements of multimedia or morphology such as audio, images, video, and still or moving graphics. Hypertext is an interconnected network of documents and other media that are referred to through the links between them. It may contain static or dynamic content in electronic format. Static content is content that can be delivered directly to end users without any changes, while dynamic content can change based on user inputs. Hypermedia is the next level of multimedia experience that expands the concept of hypertext links to include not only text but a wide range of other multimedia elements such as audio, video and graphics. Although the term hypertext is widely used in collaboration with the World Wide Web, the technology has been around since the ages. Hypertext technology is based solely on human-computer interactions through strong cross-references called hyperlinking. This makes it easier to use text and links effectively and how to implement it on the World Wide Web. Hypermedia technology is based on non-linear forms of multimedia, which include not only simple text, but also other multimedia elements to enhance the overall multimedia experience. Hypermedia technology is a major breakthrough in education. Hypertext app technologies go beyond the usual clicking and access to go links from one place to another on the Internet. The hypertext model can be implemented in a wide range of applications, and the degree of dynamic communication in hypertext is not limited to the Internet. In fact, it can be applied to electronic study, literary research and qualitative research. The Hypermedia app can be defined as a network of interconnected documents that are linked by extensive cross-references, such as hypertext. The best example of hypermedia is the World Wide Web. Hypertext vs. Hypermedia: Comparison Chart Summary Hypertext and Hypermedia Both term hypertext and hypermedia follow a similar structure consisting of nodes that are interconnected by links, except for hypermedia systems, nodes may contain several forms of media, such as text, images, audio, video and graphics. The main difference is how they are implemented. Hypertext is used to present multimedia content in electronic text format, while hypermedia combines both hypertext and multimedia to provide access to a wealth of information usually in a non-linear sequence. The idea behind hypermedia is to expand the functionality of multimedia to make content more interactive and more accessible than before. The whole idea of the World Wide Web is based on the concept of hypertext and hypermedia. Sagar Hillar is a prolific content/article/blog writer working as a senior content developer/writer in a well-known customer services firm based in India. He has a desire to explore universal themes and develop high-quality content to make it a better read. Thanks to his passion for writing, he has more than 7 years of professional experience in writing and editing services on a wide variety of print and electronic platforms. Outside of his professional life, Sagar enjoys communicating with people from different cultures and backgrounds. You could say that he is inquisitive in nature. He believes that every experience and it brings a certain excitement, a kind of curiosity to keep going. It may feel silly at first, but it weakens you after a while and makes it easier for you to start conversations with complete strangers - that's what he said. Help us improve. Appreciate this post! A non-linear information environment that includes graphics, audio, video, simple text and hyperlinks Look hypermedia in Wiktionary, a free dictionary. Hypermedia, an extension of the term hypertext, is a non-linear information environment that includes graphics, audio, video, simple text and hyperlinks. This designation contrasts with the broader term multimedia, which may include non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. This is also related to the field of electronic literature. The term was first used in a 1965 article written by Ted Nelson. The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia, while inactive presentation in cinema is an example of standard multimedia due to the lack of hyperlinks. The first work of hypermedia was perhaps a map of aspen. Bill Atkinson's HyperCard popularized hypermedia writing, while various literary hypertext and hypertext works, fiction and non-fiction, demonstrated the promise of reference. Most modern hypermedia comes through electronic pages from a variety of systems, including media players, web browsers and standalone apps (i.e. software that doesn't require network access). Audio hypermedia appears with voice command devices and voice view. Hypermedia development tools can be developed in many ways. Any programming tool can be used to record programs that link data from internal variables and nodes to external data files. Multimedia development software such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Director, Macromedia Authorware and MatchWare Mediator can be used to create standalone hypermedia apps with a focus on entertainment content. Some database programs, such as Visual FoxPro and FileMaker Developer, can be used to develop standalone hypermedia applications with a focus on educational management business content. Hypermedia applications can be developed on built-in mobile devices and digital signage using W3C's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) specification. Software applications such as Ikivo animator and make it easier to develop SVG-based hypermedia content. Built-in devices such as the iPhone support SVG specifications and can be used to create mobile and distributed hypermedia applications. Hyperlinks can also be added to the data files using most business programs using limited scripting features and built-in hyperlinks. Documentation software, such as Microsoft Office Suite and LibreOffice, allows you to use hypertext links to other content in the same file, other external files, and URL links to files on external file servers. For a focus on graphics and page layout, hyperlinks can be added using state-of-the-art desktop publishing tools. This includes presentation programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint and LibreOffice Impress, add-ons to print mock-up programs such as quark Immedia, and tools to incorporate hyperlinks into PDF documents such as Adobe InDesign for Creation and Adobe Acrobat for editing. Hyper Publish is a tool specifically designed and optimized to manage hypermedia and hypertext. Any HTML editor can be used to create HTML files available to any web browser. CD/DVD authorship tools, such as DVD Studio Pro, can be used to hyperlink content DVDs for DVD players or web links when the disc is played on a person-connected computer. Training There have been a number of theories relating to hypermedia and learning. One important claim in the literature on hypermedia and learning is that it offers more control over the learning environment for the reader or student. Another claim is that it levels the playing field among students with different abilities and improves co-education. The claim of psychology includes the idea that hypermedia more closely simulates the structure of the brain, compared to the printed text.

Brian Greenen The Elegant Universe (2000), Stephen Hawkingin The Universe in a Nutshell (2001) ja Peter Coveneyn ja Roger Highfieldin The Arrow of Time (1991) ovat teoreettisen fysiikan saavutuksia popularisoiden kuvaavia kirjoja. Niiden esittelemiä fysiikan teorioita verrataan Adamsin kirjasarjassa esiintyviin tapahtumiin, ja teorioiden vaikutus kirjasarjaan pyritään osoittamaan. Lisäksi, Helge Kraghin Quantum Generations (1999) toimii käsiteltyjen fysiikan teorioiden syntyajankohtaa tarkentavana hakuteoksena. Tutkielma pyrkii myös kumoamaan Adamsin väitteen jonka mukaan yhtäläisyydet hänen kirjasarjansa tapahtumien ja tieteellisten teorioiden välillä ovat täysin sattumanvaraisia. Väitteen kumoamista oikeutetaan mainitsemalla joitakin M.J. Simpsonin Douglas Adams-elämäkerrassaan Hitchhiker (2003) listaamia väritettyjä tarinoita, joita Adams kertoi itsestään. Tutkielman rakenne on kolmiosainen.

It defines the qualities of the hypertext narrative and looks specifically at how hyperfiction has utilized these qualities. It outlines the aspects of hypertext relevant to shaping an online narrative and then considers how those aspects of hypertext could be applied to one of the forms of narrative, the online news story, that up to this point has not effectively utilized screen-based text. The online news story is an example of words on a screen functioning in much the same way they have for hundreds of years on the newspaper page. This thesis focuses specifically on the application of hypertext theory to online newspaper because of the precarious place in which that media finds itself as it works to adapt to the age of the Internet.

We put forth the inter-related concepts of shattered documents, and renoding: splitting a document into components smaller than the page, called noogramicles, and creating each page as a new assemblage of noogramicles each time it is accessed. The adaptation comes from learning the navigation patterns of the usors (authors and readers), and is manifested in the assemblage of pages. Another essential trait of our work is the utilization of user simulation for testing our hypotheses. We have created software simulators and conducted experiments with them to compare several adaptive and non-adaptive configurations. Yet another important aspect of our work was the study and adoption of the technique of spreading activation to explore the network database of the learnt model of travels. We have realised a quantitative evaluation based on utilization quality measures adapted to the problem: session size, session cost. vii viii Resumo Estudamos como o hipertexto adaptativo pode melhorar a utiliza¸c~aode documen- tos em-linha de grande dimens~ao.

We then review the cross-disciplinary theoretical and empirical literature on the uses and effects of educational hypermedia. This literature is spread across fields as diverse as cognitive and educational psychology, geography, educational technology, engineering, environmental psychology, and computer science. From this literature we specifically focus on: (1) hypermedia theory applicable to educational uses and effects of the World Wide Web,(2) empirical research on how individuals use hypermedia systems; and (3) empirical research on the cognitive effects of hypermedia systems. We conclude by discussing the implications of this theory and research in an effort to prOvide a framework for research on formal and informal learning via the World Wide Web.(Contains 118 references.)(Author) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Hypertext, Hypermedia, and the Humanities
    Hypertext, Hypermedia, and the Humanities ERWINK. WELSCH ABSTRACT HYPERTEXTIHYPERMEDIASYSTEMS in the humanities have evolved significantly in the last decade and particularly since 1985. The writings of humanist scholars are important in understanding the use of this comparatively new medium for information access and use. Hypertexdhypermedia applications in the humanities show significant promise for the future but may also present libraries with special problems. This article provides historical background on hypertext/hypermedia; focuses on their use in the humanities; describes humanities projects that illustrate trends and techniques; discusses libraries’ roles in hypertext/hypermedia humanities computing; and concludes with a description of challenges and opportunities as librarians implement such systems. DEFINITIONAND BASICSOF HYPERTEXTAND HYPERMEDIASYSTEMS The precise origin of hyflertext is not entirely clear. Ted Nelson (1987)claims that he coined the word about 1967 (p.0/2); Kahn (1990, p. 80) traces it to a conference presentation by Nelson in 1965. But Van Dam (1988) notes that he was also working with the concept in 1967 and traces it back to Douglas Engelbart in the 1950s. Engelbart is said to have reported on his Stanford research on workstations for browsing text at a conference in 1968 (p. 164). Nelson also acknowledges Engelbart’s contribution as inventor of electronic text systems. Nevertheless, it is Nelson himself, particularly in his “Project Xanadu” (dating from 1960),who has drawn most attention to issues Erwin K.
