Abstract

In Chapter 1, we discussed the motivations that led us to start building Microcosm. However, clearly this work was very much influenced by projects being undertaken by other research groups and by hypermedia developments in the commercial world. In this chapter we shall attempt to set our work in the context of the history of hypermedia system development in general.
