An Algebraic Dexter-Based Hypertext Reference Model

Artificial Intelligence 2009-02-23 v1 Logic in Computer Science

Abstract

We present the first formal algebraic specification of a hypertext reference model. It is based on the well-known Dexter Hypertext Reference Model and includes modifications with respect to the development of hypertext since the WWW came up. Our hypertext model was developed as a product model with the aim to automatically support the design process and is extended to a model of hypertext-systems in order to be able to describe the state transitions in this process. While the specification should be easy to read for non-experts in algebraic specification, it guarantees a unique understanding and enables a close connection to logic-based development and verification.
