This poster suggests to treat navigation as an independent dimension by explicitly describing the navigation space in a dedicated navigation language.The language has three major applications: (1) Describing paths through hypertext. Those paths can be used as recommendations or prescriptions that users may or must follow. (2) Building specialized information access paths to cope with specific information needs. (3) Enabling the automation of recurring navigation patterns.All three cases are related by the notion of a path. We introduce an abstraction that captures the idea of a \"path through hypertext\", so-called hypertracks, which are concise, quick to author, and easy to communicate (e.g. via e-mail or Web).This poster motivates the navigation language and introduces the concepts behind it (hypertracks, stateful navigation situations, navigation context, navigation actions, navigation history, predicates for conditional navigation, and an event-based processing model). The concrete syntax of the language and its integration into a browser are under development.","PeriodicalId":134809,"journal":{"name":"UK Conference on Hypertext","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131098693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Navigational links placed between the video elements are assigned labels and return behaviors appropriate to the goals of the hypervideo and the role of the destination video. Hyper-Hitchcock was used by students in a Computers and New Media class to author hypervideos on a variety of topics. The produced hypervideos provide examples of hypervideo structures and the link properties and behaviors needed to support them.

Although the early implementations were true to the breadcrumb metaphor of marking the specific path a user had taken [1], over time the Web convention of using a list of links to represent the location of the current node has become commonplace [5]. Popularized by large directories like Yahoo!, breadcrumbs can reinforce that users are indeed in the “right place”, educate them on the website’s structure, and help them interpret the other links on the page which are contextual to the node’s location. If users feel disoriented [11, 12], they can select one of the breadcrumb links to go to “higher ground” and hopefully proceed with accomplishing their goal. Studies by Bowler et al. [3] and Teng [14] suggest that breadcrumbs are most useful for large and hierarchical sites. The study we report here investigated more powerful breadcrumb navigation constructs within the Open Directory Project. We hope to answer the question if these experimental breadcrumbs can improve performance in key navigation tasks.","PeriodicalId":134809,"journal":{"name":"UK Conference on Hypertext","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122853426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the search for new methods and tools, we focus in this article on the use of audiovisual material in a scholar context.

The notion of hypervideo is useful to analyse existing video-based hypermedia systems as well as building new systems. The Advene project proposes an implementation of hypervideos through a framework that allows experimentations of new visualisation and interaction modalities for enriched videos.","PeriodicalId":134809,"journal":{"name":"UK Conference on Hypertext","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133711409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although tools that support an easy approach to web writing, such as blogs and wikis, are becoming increasingly important and mainstream, they still lack in terms of layout and typographical sophistication, and, most importantly, only allow local editing (on the pages that are stored by the application itself). In this paper we re-propose an old paradigm for writing content on the net, directly derived from the Xanadu vision by Ted Nelson: global editability foresees that all documents on the web can be accessed for editing and modified on line, very much as in a global wiki. Global editability needs to address a number of issues, including correct support for intellectual property and legal issues, before it can be accepted as an idea. We provide some considerations on technical issues of global editability, and describe the architecture and implementation of a system, called IsaWiki, that is being developed at the University of Bologna.","PeriodicalId":134809,"journal":{"name":"UK Conference on Hypertext","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134498582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
