Authoring-in-the-large: software engineering techniques for hypertext application design
IWSSD '91: Proceedings of the 6th international workshop on Software specification and designThis paper discusses a structured approach to hypertext application design which we have called "authoring-in-the-large". This approach is based on the belief that in order to get a consistent, expressive, usable hypertext, the application should be ...

The authors focus on hypermedia services available for Inter media, a system developed at Brown University's Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship (IRIS) that should interest anyone currently designing software with hyper media functionality. Hypermedia services are described in two sections. The first details aspects of the hyper m edia policy, such as how end users can hook anchors to the appropriate document content and link different anchors; the application programs' responsibilities in terms of selection handling and menu handling; multiuser access to documents, anchors, and links; active anchors to support animation and motion video data; and the transfer of linked documents from one Intermedia system to another. In the second section, the authors detail the mechanism used to support this policy by describing hypermedia services such as the Intermedia Layer and Link Engine. The Intermedia Layer supports live data manipulation by providing an extension to the MacApp application framework. The Link Engine supports the storage and retrieval of link data. The authors conclude by discussing five desirable features for future hypermedia systems. One irritating aspect of IRIS Intermedia is that it locks out all other users from editing the content of a document until the first user closes the document. This almost defeats the purpose of having a multiuser environment. In addition, I would have liked the authors to explain why the “separated but coordinated” strategy for maintaining data consistency was chosen over the strategy that keeps data and link information in the same file. I would also have liked them to succinctly summarize the background material, since most of the features mentioned are discussed in other publications. (It takes them four pages to tell us that they will, in this paper, cover IRIS hypermedia services.) Since the system was built on MacApp, I would also have liked a discussion of whether IRIS Intermedia could be transported to other platforms and other object-oriented application frameworks. Perhaps all of these topics have been discussed in other publications, but if so, the authors do not mention it.
