Abstract : |
The provision and maintenance of truly large-scale information resources on the World-Wide Web necessitates server architectures offering substantially more functionality than simply serving HTML files from the local file system and processing CGI requests. This paper describes Hyper-G, a large-scale, multi-protocol, distributed, hypermedia information system which uses an object-oriented database layer to provide information structuring and link maintenance facilities in addition to fully integrated attribute and content search, a hierarchical access control scheme, support for multiple languages, interactive link editing, and point-and-click document insertion. Keywords: Hyper-G, hypermedia, information system, multi-protocol, automatic link maintenance, server architecture., |
