Abstract
Hypermedia design is the task of specifying representation structures, dynamic behaviour, navigation patterns, and lay-out features, of a hypermedia application. This paper describes a structured approach to hypermedia design, identifying the crucial steps in the design process. Our main goal is to provide a guideline to make hypermedia design more systematic and better organised, and to help mastering the complexity of hypermedia application development and improving consistency and usability of the resulting applications.
