Using Logic for the Specification of Hypermedia Documents

  • Conference paper
Classification, Data Analysis, and Data Highways

Abstract

We describe an approach to the specification of hypermedia systems using first order logic. The static part concerning the document structure is described using Horn Clauses, the dynamic part uses Smolka’s feature logic. The linguistic mechanisms for a hypermedia description language are outlined, it is emphasized that an object oriented approach is helpful.
