Abstract
The paper proposes a semiotic model inspired to the narrative, structural framework by A.J.Greimas, and applied to the design and analysis of a hypermedia. The framework is structured into four levels of signification and allows for a constructive process of semantic aggregation. We follow such a process in order to explore the conceptual organization of the model. We construct a hypermedia regarding a collection of ancient mosaics from a roman villa. Our results indicate that the proposed approach opens novel perspectives, and looks promising towards the definition of semiotic methodologies of hypermedia design.
