Links to Hypertext Resources

A part of Hypertext Materials

Sometimes it is hard to find hypertext resources on the WWW, partly because published scholarly works are hidden from search engines. This list is part of a concerted effort by the hypertext community to make us and our work better known.

Epigram

There is a new profession of trail blazers, those who find delight in the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record. The inheritance from the master becomes, not only his additions to the world's record, but for his disciples the entire scaffolding by which they were erected.

– Vannevar Bush in As We May Think (1945)


  1. Background & General Information

    WeblogKitchen wiki
    about research in weblogs, wikis, and related hypertext technologies (quotation from the Welcome Visitors section)
    Definitions of Hypertext (at this site)
    A jumping-off point for learning more about how hypertext permeates our lives online.
    alt.hypertext Frequently Asked Questions List (at this site)
    Note however that Usenet has been abandoned by most members of the community. Much of the discussion seems to occur in frequent on-line chats (sponsored by the Electronic Literature Organization), blogs, and the WeblogKitchen wiki.
  2. Collections of Scholarly Works

    Hypertext Conference proceedings from sigWeb website
    sigWeb is the special interest group responsible for the Hypertext conference. It used to have a newsletter too.
    Hypertext Conference proceedings from ACM digital library
    Description from the proceedings archive page at acm.org (19 June 2002): The Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia brings together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from diverse disciplines to consider the form, role and impact of hypertext and hypermedia in a forum of discussion of ideas, design and use of hypertext and hypermedia in a variety of domains. The conference also considers the transformative power of hypermedia and its ability to alter the way we read, write, argue, work, exchange information and entertain ourselves.

  3. Research & Use Community

    A defintion of the Hypertext Community is in the main hypertext webpage.

    ACM sigWeb website
    sigWeb supports the multi-disciplinary field of hypertext and hypermedia, facilitating its application both on the World-Wide Web and also in independent, distributed and stand-alone environments. It provides a forum for the promotion, dissemination, and exchange of ideas concerning research and applications among scientists, systems designers and end-users. (quotation from the 14 June 2002 version of the sigWeb homepage.)
    The Open Directory Project lists hypertext in at least these four categories:
    Trailblazing the literature of hypertext: author co-citation analysis (1989–1998)
    An article from Hypertext '99 by Chaomei Chen and Les Carr
    Shows the areas and sub-areas in the Hypertext conference (up to 1998)
