Fusing WWW and Link Server Technology: One Approach This position paper explores how a fusion between distributed link data systems, as exemplified by the World-Wide Web (WWW), and link server systems, as exemplified by the Open Hypermedia Systems (OHS) community.
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.
