Hypertext and Structured Object Representation: A Unifying View

Abstract

This paper addresses combining hypertext with knowledge representation as used in knowledge-based systems. Hypertext imposes explicit structure on text, whereas certain knowledge representation formalisms of AI are designed for structuring knowledge. We propose a way of tight integration of hypertext and structured object representation, using (AI) frames for the basic representation of hypertext nodes. Moreover, we propose to allow for the additional option of explicit representation of structure using partitions of hypertext nodes, which are realized as slots. In order to make the text more dynamic, our approach facilitates some aspects of object-oriented programming using message passing from the text in the browser.
