A Novel Architecture for Classical Hypertext
The early years of hypertext research saw a profusion of strange new hypertext models, formalisms, and systems. The exuberant abundance of this era was overwhelmed by the emergence of the Web and, later, the field's fascination with social media. Elegies to the freedom of the classical era of hypertext continue to be heard, yet novel systems are rare. This paper proposes a simple architectural twist that embeds web components — which may include hypertext systems — inside a classical hypertext framework. The goal of this work is to enable researchers to implement useful, testable prototype systems very quickly: an exotic hypertext system in an afternoon.
