Linking with Meaning: Ontological Hypertext for Scholars
Simon Kampa, Tim Miles-Board, Leslie Alan Carr, Wendy Hall · ePrints Soton (University of Southampton) · 2001
The links in ontological hypermedia are defined according to the relationships between real-world objects. An ontology that models the significant objects in a scholar's world can be used toward producing a consistently interlinked research literature. Currently the papers that are available online are mainly divided between subject- and publisher-specific archives, with little or no interoperability. This paper addresses the issue of ontological interlinking, presenting two experimental systems whose hypertext links embody ontologies based on the activities of researchers and scholars.
