Server Support for Cooperative Hypermedia Systems

  • Conference paper
Hypermedia

Part of the book series: Informatik aktuell ((INFORMAT))

Abstract

While current hypertext technology usually is restricted to single user systems, it is obvious that actual work environments require multi-user systems which support cooperating coworkers. However, previous research prototypes have concentrated either on the support for group work or on appropriate datamodels and storage policies for hypermedia objects. In this paper we discuss the CHS hypermedia engine which combines both approaches: It not only provides shared access to hypermedia objects but also supports cooperating clients in flexible ways.
