Summary

From a browser, the World-Wide Web looks like a read-only medium. With a full-hypertext system, everything can be edited. As with HTML editors, a hypertext system may provide multiple views of a database, particularly a graphical view.

A large hypertext contains far too much material to view at once. Instead, the user should be in a richly interconnected environment with a wealth of material readily available. Users should feel that the material is organized for their needs. (cbb 3/98)
