Materialized Hypertext Views

Abstract

A materialized hypertext view can be defined as “a hypertext containing data coming from a database and whose pages are stored in files” (Sindoni, 1999). A Web site presenting data from a data warehouse is an example of such a view. Even if the most popular approach to the generation of such sites is based on dynamic Web pages, a rationale for the materialized approach has produced many research efforts. The topic will cover logical models to describe the structure of the hypertext.
