- What is multi-axis hypertext? <sum06 1 13>
- =============================
-
- Taxonomies Hypertext is more than building semantic taxonomies for
- ========== minimum-keystroke access to ideas. <link56>
-
- Because people use a wide variety of methods to access
- information, "good" hypertext anticipates each of the
- desired approaches. <link43 1 21>
-
- Matrix-outlining To create such systems, I use a matrix-outliner
- ================ (HOUDINI) to identify and index all the dimensions and
- boundaries of each piece of information. <link62>
-
- Very difficult Once these dimensions are identified, I build hypertext
- construction task networks that, starting from any viewpoint, will guide
- ================= users to the desired information. This construction task
- provides a multi-axis approach to hypertext that greatly
- expands the usefulness of the system.
-
- Multi-axis hypertext means anticipating all the possible
- ways others might think about any piece of information in
- your hypertext system. That requires talent! <link60>
