Abstract

There are many well documented problems facing the ordinary user, as opposed to the enthusiast, of Hypermedia (HM) technology which can lead these users to be frustrated by, or give-up using hypermedia technology altogether. Among these classic HM problems are: the Framing Problem, Framing And Intercomparision Combined, Link Types, Versioning And Historical Backtrack, Closed Context and Open Media, Adding These Aspects Later, Disorientation [3], Information Structuring Systems [2], Visualizing [4]. This paper focuses on one of these key problems, "the Framing Problem" - as the number of hypermedia objects grows the problem of restricting our attention to only the relevant connections becomes harder [3]. How can we structure the source hypermedia to show semantically related clusters? By solving this problem it is possible to offer new ways for people to search and browse hypermedia.
