| Abstract: | Spatial hypertext can provide workgroups with a means of recording their interpretations of the large bodies of information relevant to their day-to-day activities; this information is quickly becoming available through a variety of networked electronic resources such as the World-Wide Web, online information services, and various digital library projects. By addressing the needs of applications in which structure is emerging, changing, or difficult to articulate, spatial hypertext uses perceptible characteristics of recurrent visual symbols - references to underlying content - to create structures such as annotative links, sets, and composites. We have observed that these structures arise in practice, through human interaction with computational and noncomputational material. |
