Link Management Framework for Hyper-Media Documents

This paper presents a framework for link management within hyper-media documents. The framework includes: (1) an object-oriented document architecture with a consistent interface for different media types; (2) a transition model between multimedia objects founded on contentbased static links for atemporal media, and content/timebased dynamic links for temporal media; and (3) intrinsic support for content-based access which requires a reduced amount of indexing. A prototype system has been implemented to verify the feasibility of the paradigm. The results confirm that the framework is viable and back up the formalism.
