Abstract

This article provides a review of this year's ACM Hypertext and Social Media Conference (Hypertext). Hypertext 2013 was part of the First ACM European Computing Research Congress (ECRC 2013), which was co-located with the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2013) and the ACM Web Science Conference 2013 (WebSci 2013) at the Palais des Congrès in Paris. The entire event attracted certainly around 4,000 participants from all over the world. As in 2012, this year the focus was on exploring, studying and shaping relationships between three major dimensions of links in hypertextual systems: people, data and documents. This year, Hypertext was organized by Gerd Stumme and Andreas Hotho and featured 16 full and 20 short papers oral presentations, three exciting workshops, two vibrant keynotes delivered by one of \the fathers of the Internet" Vinton Cerf (Google, USA) and by Denny Vrandečić (Wikimedia, Germany), and two social events with delicious French food and wine. This article reflects the authors personal view of Hypertext 2013 and may not represent the opinions of other individuals who attended the conference.
