Abstract

Digital libraries can provide users with fast access to large, complex, richly connected, and cross-referenced bodies of information. They can be considered as applications based on the hypermedia paradigm. Hypermedia is hypertext with multimedia. The principle behind hypertext or hypermedia is nodes of information (concepts) associated through links (relationships). It is essentially non-linear organization and presentation of information. Nodes can contain text, graphics, animation, audio, video, and even other applications.
