The nonlinear nature of hypermedia documents makes them notoriously difficult to describe. Consequently design prior to implementation is a challenging task. This paper examines design issues specific to hypermedia, and describes the development of HANDIE, a notation for the description of the structural organisation of hypermedia documents. HANDIE is based on a directed graph approach, but it incorporates a range of abstractions which provide significant simplification, and which allow the underlying structure of a document to remain clearly visible. The evaluation of a prototype design environment based on HANDIE is described, and range of refinements for the future are proposed. |
