Excerpt:
The subject of this article is hypermedia systems. The authors were
part of a team that developed Intermedia at Brown University's
Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship (IRIS) between
1985 and 1990. Intermedia is distinct from many other hypermedia
systems in that it is intended to model a multiuser hypermedia
framework rather than a single hypermedia program. We did not want to
create an isolated hypermedia "island" where linking functionality was
limited to connections between homogeneous data managed by a single
program [16]. Our intention was to create a model for how hypermedia
functionality should be handled at the system level, where linking
would be available for all participating applications in much the same
way that copying to and pasting from the clipboard facility is
supported in the Macintosh and Microsoft Windows environments.
