Why use HyTime
Leslie Alan Carr, DAVID W. BARRON, Hugh Davis, Wendy Hall · 1994
SUMMARY The Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language (HyTime) is a recently adopted International Standard (ISO/IEC 10744:1992). The paper presents the need and potential for HyTime, provides a brief explanation of its various facilities and shows how it may be applied to good effect in various situations, with particular reference to hypertext interchange from Microcosm (an open hypertext system). It then goes on to explore several alternatives to HyTime and compare their relative strengths and weaknesses.
