Abstract

This paper presents ' Nestor', a hypertext system on the World Wide Web dedicated to the consultation of technical documents at France Telecom. Assuming the double hypothesis that navigations carried out by the user have on one hand a goal and on the other become more and more efficient through time, our connectionist approach aims to find relevant implicit links. Discovering these informal and useful links can be seen as a concrete realization of what Vannevar Bush, one of the pioneers of hypertext, imagined, namely, the activity of trail blazers.
