Hypermedia Application Design: a Structured Approach

  • Chapter
Designing User Interfaces for Hypermedia

Part of the book series: Research Reports ESPRIT ((3231,volume 1))

Abstract

Hypermedia design is the task of specifying representation structures, dynamic behaviour, navigation patterns, and lay-out features, of a hypermedia application. This paper describes a structured approach to hypermedia design, identifying the crucial steps in the design process. Our main goal is to provide a guideline to make hypermedia design more systematic and better organised, and to help mastering the complexity of hypermedia application development and improving consistency and usability of the resulting applications.
