One approach to the electronic presentation of documents is to imitate those in the paper medium, hut there are a number of arguments against this approach. An alternative is to use a method which takes advantage of the facilities that the new medium can provide, such as hypertext. It has been proposed that people form mental maps of documents that they read, which are used for navigating through the document. However, the increased flexibility of access which characterises hypertext makes the formation of such maps more difficult, and readers may become lost within the document. The series of studies reported here investigated the influence of a number of variables on subjects' ability to (i) relocate information from within a hierarchical hypertext document, and (ii) construct a map of its structure. An additional measure of interest was the ...","PeriodicalId":334979,"journal":{"name":"Intell.

Hypertext is text plus an abstraction of the text. In reasoning with this abstraction, a hypertext system manifests expertise. This intelligent hypertext is called expertext. When the abstraction of the text is a semantic network, spreading activation and inheritance methods may help people appreciate the structure of the hypertext. When predicates and implications are included in the abstraction, logical deductions can be performed. Queries can be logically answered and then a sequence of relevant text blocks can be provided as an explanation of the answer. Distributed expertext systems use knowledge bases about the domain of the text and about the users. Distributed expertext systems have been developed which guide people in searching for information and in creating information.","PeriodicalId":334979,"journal":{"name":"Intell.
