Building hypermedia applications as navigational views of information models

Presents a novel approach for defining hypermedia applications as navigational views of an object-oriented hypermedia schema. We briefly describe an object-oriented hypermedia design model (OOHDM) using an academic information system as a concrete example to illustrate each modeling construct. We further analyze the whole process of hypermedia applications building, focusing mainly on navigational design. The approach we propose allows clean separation of the content design, navigational design and abstract interface design. Such separation of concerns allows seamless evolution from abstract domain models to concrete implementation of hypermedia applications, especially those in which there is a wide range of information to be handled.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
