Abstract
In this paper, the first results of the ESPRIT project HYTEA (HYperTExt Authoring) will be presented. HYTEA aims at supporting the construction of large and complex hypertext/hypermedia (“HT/HM”) applications. For this purpose, the Hypertext Design Model (HDM) is introduced which serves as a high-level data structure for hyperdocument design. Within HYTEA, a variety of prototype applications are specified and implemented that use HDM as a modelling device. In order to exemplify this approach, we will describe one application in detail: the design of a hypertext online documentation for a user manual of the forms processing system SIFORM. Another objective of HYTEA is the development of tools which are conceptually based on HDM and provide a graphical interface for easy and efficient hyperdocument authoring. Two of these tools will be presented in order to illustrate the HYTEA approach for the design and maintenance of HT/HM applications.
