Designing Hypertext and the Web

Abstract

Hypertext and Web technology still continue to excite many, ever since it became popular in the late 1980s. Early visionary thinkers such as Bush (1945), Engelbart (1963), and Nelson (1987) in their own ways believed that hypertext and its underlying philosophy would enable man to locate, retrieve, and easily use the store of human knowledge that lies in books, journals, and associated materials in libraries all over the world.
