Abstract
We address the conceptual modelling of hypermedia regarded as semiotic texts, whose meanings are conceived by a designer, transferred through the artifact and interpreted by users within their context. We outline the communication framework, with the artifact embedding the images of the designer and user. The full model is represented in terms of four interrelated modules: story, discourse, text and social-relational ontologies. The first and second one account for the narrative structures underlying the hypermedia content, which is externalized through sensorial qualities that, in turn, evoke impressions into the user. The model addresses issues that are poorly covered by the description standard MPEG-7. It can be used for analysis, evaluation, indexing of existing hypermedia as well as the design of new ones.
