Abstract
In this paper, we propose a framework for component-based open hypermedia systems that provides developers with ready-made and extensible communication and distribution facilities. We begin by analyzing the requirements for such a framework through an examination of existing systems. We then describe our framework, and tie this back to related work in the metainformatics field.
