Modelling static and dynamic aspects of hypermedia systems

Abstract

The static and dynamic properties of the Labyrinth model, used for the definition and management of hypermedia applications, are presented in this paper. The most relevant characteristics of Labyrinth are the following: the structure of applications can be modelled by means of composite objects; the reactive nature and temporal dimension of multimedia contents are considered; and security policies to preserve information confidentiality and integrity can be defined.
