Where is "time" today in hypertextuality?
Trying to map an entire
hypertext in a single view is usually unproductive: the result, for any large hypertext, tends to be a muddle in which hundreds of items are entangled in thousands of links. Automatic layout algorithms can help make good hypertext maps a little bit neater, but no satisfactory approach has been proposed for creating good hypertext maps in the first place. For a map to be informative, it must draw on know
ledge of the
meaning and intent of the hypertext. Representing the surface structure is not enough.We must introduce the meaning of "time" in our algorithms !
