Abstract

In a hypermedia system information is stored in a network of nodes, connected by links. Each node can be presented using one or more media formats. The problem of automatically converting a node from one media format to another is considered. This capability would allow users to select the most convenient representation for a particular application. A number of possible conversions are presented, and some of the design issues involved in automatic node conversion are discussed. A prototype system has been implemented, and future research is planned.
