Abstract
In addition to Nelson’s work on Xanadu™, there have been a number of notable efforts to develop hypertext systems. Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) developed NLS (oN Line System) which was used to store research papers, memos and reports and make them accessible to collaborators separated geographically (Engelbart 1963). The Intermedia system, developed at Brown University’s Institute for Research and Information Scholarship, is an integrated environment that allows different types of applications (word processors, editors, and other programs) to be linked together (Meyrowitz 1986). Other systems were NoteCards, KMS, HyperTies, Guide, Textnet and HyperCard.
