3. Page-Based Hypertext Frank Shipman Dr. Shipman has been researching hypertext, computer-supported cooperative work, and intelligent user interfaces since 1987 at Baylor College of Medicine, University of Colorado, Xerox PARC, and now Texas A&M University. The field of hypertext includes computer scientists, literary theorists, and writers. The first ACM Hypertext Conference took place in 1987 … Texas A&M University, located in College Station, has 43,000 students …

4. Map-Based Hypertext Observations of Xerox NoteCards activities found heavy use of maps. Aquanet designed to make the map the primary interface (instead of browser) Late 80s – map-based hypertext –gIBIS, Aquanet, Sepia –Argumentation and knowledge building –Schemas as map legends

8. Spatial Hypertext Observations of Aquanet activities showed links implied rather than explicitly expressed. VIKI designed to support building and manipulating implicit spatial relations 1993 – first spatial hypertext –VIKI: a visual and kinesthetic analysis tool Emerged into research area: –HyperMap, CAOS, Manufactur, VKB, Tinderbox, ART, …
