The Active HYpermedia Delivery System (AHYDS) using the PHASME application-oriented DBMS

Abstract

AHYDS is a hypermedia platform being developed at NACSIS based on the PHASME application-oriented DBMS. The AHYDS is a media delivery platform to support various hypermedia applications. The features of customisability and active behavior enable to support different kinds of heterogeneous hypermedia applications. AHYDS has hypermedia access capabilities through both query language-based and non-query language-based interfaces. These capabilities are demonstrated in the context of a hypermedia museum application. The AHYDS system is publicly available on request for educational, research and industrial cooperation purposes.
