Abstract

The authors introduce OBJECTEXT, an object-oriented data model for hypertext systems, featuring an extensible set of typed, structured nodes. It is argued that the integration of object-oriented principles can give hypertexts a clearer, more formal framework and reduce the problem of user disorientation without sacrificing generality or flexibility. It is also argued that hypertexts are a special case of semantic models in general, and of the object-oriented paradigm in particular. An implementation of the system, developed in Prolog, is discussed.
