17 ;;Quote: Smithsonian Institute has a demonstration laboratory for hypertext

17 ;;Quote: linear organization not useful for program documentation; either squeezed into margin or breaks up program flow

18 ;;Quote: the essential feature of hypertext is machine-supported links

18 ;;Quote: hypertext windows usually correspond with nodes; but this is not important

19 ;;Quote: a hypertext consists of a network of textual nodes, a window per node, link icons, browsing, and modifiability

19 ;;Quote: hypertext nodes displayed as windows with the node's name or title

19 ;;Quote: a Hypertext window contains link icons with text that suggests the contents of its destination

19 ;;Quote: Hypertext browsed by following links, searching for keyword, or graphical browser

19 ;;Quote: in a complex Hypertext, it is easy to become lost; a graphical browser helps

20 ;;Quote: 3x5 index cards forms a manual Hypertext with cross-references and hierarchical bundling

20 ;;Quote: NoteCards modularize notes into small chunks

20 ;;Quote: a dictionary or encyclopedia is a manual Hypertext; i.e., a graph of textual nodes joined by referential links

20 ;;Quote: Hypertext was originally for ultimate human-computer interaction

20 ;;Quote: earliest visions of Hypertext was the integration of all knowledge; maintained by both authors and readers

22 ;;Quote: NLS files were a hierarchy of statements with reference links within or between files

22 ;;Quote: NLS used view filters to select information for from a hypertext database

22+ ;;Quote: NLS view filters by hierarchical depth, items per level, or content

24 ;;Quote: TEXTNET has a taxonomy of link types such as irrelevant, inadequate and rambling

24 ;;Quote: TEXTNET path is a default pathway through a Hypertext; avoids n-way decisions

24 ;;Quote: IBIS for analysis of 'wicked problems' without a single answer

25 ;;Quote: WE sees reading and writing as transforming linear, hierarchy, and network representations

26 ;;Quote: Hyperties always selects a link; cursor jumps to next link

27 ;;Quote: DocumentExaminer includes entire Lisp manual

27 ;;Quote: DocumentExaminer allows string search for keywords

27 ;;Quote: DocumentExaminer adds links to a list of current topics; follow a link by going to the list

28 ;;Quote: with Lisp can write new node types for NoteCards or action nodes which execute when accessed

28 ;;Quote: 50-100 users of NoteCards; one database had 1600 cards and 3500 links

29 ;;Quote: Intermedia must help users manage complex Hypertext environments

29 ;;Quote: multiple Intermedia links displayed as one link icon which can be queried

29 ;;Quote: each Intermedia link belongs to a set of webs and is visible only when a containing web is active

29 ;;Quote: Intermedia has a local map for links and nearest neighbors of a document

29+ ;;Quote: Intermedia has a global map for navigation anywhere in a Hypertext

29+ ;;Quote: Neptune links to a particular version or the latest version

29 ;;Quote: Neptune links to a byte offset at source and destination

29 ;;Quote: HAM nodes and links have attribute/value pairs for querying

31 ;;Quote: a collection is a linear sequence of segments defined explicitly or by a predicate

32 ;;Quote: Guide has replacement links, note links (in a window), and reference links

32 ;;Quote: Hypertext is a computer-based medium for thinking and communication

33 ;;Quote: Hypertext eases restrictions on location of an idea within a paper

33 ;;Quote: Hypertext nodes can correspond to objects in the world

33 ;;Quote: Hypertext links is a database method different from queries

33 ;;Quote: Hypertext is a semantic network that mixes informal text with mechanized operations

33 ;;Quote: in a Hypertext system, it should be easy to follow a link

33 ;;Quote: Hypertext access time is important since readers need to look at nodes to determine relevancy

35 ;;Quote: most Hypertext users want keyword or string search

35 ;;Quote: can define multiple, overlapping hierarchies for information elements

35 ;;Quote: Hypertext can view multiple nodes as one big node but segmenting the node into chunks is difficult

35 ;;Quote: a Hypertext node does not blend seamlessly with its neighbors (unlike paragraphs)

36 ;;Quote: Hypertext readers and writers must decide what links to pursue; best for branching applications

36 ;;Quote: a Hypertext node can be an object that represents an idea; it is linked, moved, or modified independently

36 ;;Quote: type nodes by color, size, or iconic form; provides visual categorization

36 ;;Quote: semistructured nodes are a template that assists user and computer

37 ;;Quote: composite node aggregates related nodes and links; can be collapsed into an icon

37 ;;Quote: display a composite node via a constraint language that describes interpane relationships, sizes and configurations

38 ;;Quote: disorientation problem: with Hypertext must know location and how to find information in the network

39 ;;Quote: Hypertext disorientation worse with many nodes and links, frequent changes, nonvisual users, etc.

39+ ;;Quote: Hypertext browser does not solve the disorientation problem

39 ;;Quote: avoid Hypertext disorientation by database search and query

39 ;;Quote: Hypertext can filter information to reduce the level of complexity and detail

40 ;;Quote: Hypertext links require 'cognitive overhead' to create, name and keep track

40 ;;Quote: cognitive overhead since an association requires finding a word or phrase to summarize or suggest it or its relationship

40 ;;Quote: cognitive overhead since an association may require multiple links into the document

40 ;;Quote: reading a Hypertext requires choosing which links to follow; these metalevel decisions are not needed in linear texts

40 ;;Quote: cognitive overhead in Hypertext is reduced by rapid access (KMS), short descriptions (Intermedia), and graphical browsers

40 ;;Quote: problems of Hypertext are disorientation and cognitive overhead

40+ ;;Quote: cognitive overhead in Hypertext is the effort needed to juggle several tasks and trails

40+ ;;Quote: disorientation in a Hypertext is losing one's sense of location and direction
