In hypermedia systems, a HyperDisco architecture is
based on three levels of tools consisting of a combination of hypermedia tools
and integrated third-party applications, as well as tool integrators. Tool
integrators provide the hypermedia services to tools and act as session managers
to coordinate a users' access to multiple workspaces. In this system, the
workspace provides both hypermedia database and
document management services. These
architectural elements may be distributed on
wide-area or
local-area networks.
Open Hypermedia Systems Working Group The Open Hypermedia Systems Working Group (OHSWG) was formed at the second workshop on open hypermedia systems, held in April 1996, in Washington, DC, in conjunction with the 1996 ACM Conference on Hypertext. The original purpose of defining an open hypermedia protocol for OHS clients has evolved into an effort to standardize general hypermedia systems work. This broader effort is driven by the desire to maximize the applicability of the last decade of hypermedia systems and infrastructure research.
