SAL, A Hypermedia Prototype System
Anita Lundeberg, Tomoyuki Yamamoto, Takashi Usuki · Multimedia · 1992
SAL, a hypermedia prototype system developed at Sony Corporation, was designed to support the presentation of multi-media information so that it can be easily retrieved and manipulated by the user. It is a navigation system based on the node and link model, and provides a general hypermedia environment on top of which individual applications can be built. This article describes the design and implementation of SAL, along with system characteristics including navigation and authoring support. One application is furthermore presented, and comments from authors and end-users of the application are discussed. We conclude by an evaluation of the current prototype and a discussion of important issues for designing future hypermedia systems. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
