Abstract:

This paper presents several design patterns for the hypermedia domain: Navigational Context, Active Reference, Landmark, News and Shopping Basket. They are part of a pattern language for hypermedia applications and address the design of healthy navigational structures. They can be applied in stand-alone applications or in dynamic Web sites or Information Systems. 1. Introduction. Designing High Quality Hypermedia Applications. Hypermedia applications provide the user with navigational access to an information base. These applications are usually built by specifying a set of nodes related through links. Nodes represent unstructured multimedia information such as text, images, video and animations and provide navigation anchors that are usually perceived in the interface as buttons, hot-words or other reactive interface objects; by activating anchors we can follow links to other nodes. A successful hypermedia application allows an end user to perform a task by exploring the navigational...
