Abstract

A hypertext system makes a good information management system for a software development environment. However, existing hypertext systems provide poor support for collaboration among members of development teams. We examine several models for forming partitions in a hypertext data base and define our notion of contexts, a partitioning scheme that supports multi-person cooperative efforts.
