Abstract
Hypermedia design has received considerable attention and methodologies appeared to conceive hypertexts, especially to alleviate the well-known disorientation problem. The Object To Hypermedia (OTHY) approach that we proposed takes into account object-orientation to balance page customisability – with respect to different types of objects? with uniformity – within a single class. In this paper, we again take advantage of this trade-off to introduce a generalisation of the tour concept that is able to fit several needs, mostly directed to traditional and new database requirements, but also demanded by end-users to better visualise data. Moreover, we benefited from the reflexivity of our framework in order to implement quite easily some of the envisioned new tours. This proves convenient and opens perspectives for an even more general approach.
