Abstract

This paper presents a model of the document-hypermedia world which shows the bi-directional exchanges between the two worlds which are facilitated by international standards and a widely accepted hypertext reference model. In particular we show the role of the Dexter Model and the SGML/HyTime standards in supporting document-hypermedia transformations and hypermedia interchange. A first prototype — the SGML-MUCH (SM) system — has been developed which follows the principles of the model. The SM system can accept different text and hypertext markup documents by going through a standard SGML representation, which can represent both text and hypermedia structure, and the SM system can then import these documents into a collaborative hypermedia system — the MUCH system. On the other hand, a part of the MUCH database can be exported into a markup document which retains all the hypermedia information. This exported document then can be processed by a conventional document editor or used to interchange information with other hypermedia systems.
