Title
In search of a user base: where are the B's?
Abstract
Research in the open hypermedia systems area has been on-going for the past several years. In spite of the research progress that has been made in the field, however, open hypermedia systems in general have yet to develop a large and substantial user base. This situation is particularly conspicuous when considering the increasing popularity of similar "B-level" technologies such as object management frameworks. The range of factors contributing to the missing user base of open hypermedia systems includes potential problems with standards, publicity, and the WWW. In spite of these limiting factors, however, new research trends in the open hypermedia systems area such as structural computing offer capabilities that might be exploited in order to more clearly and effectively communicate the advantages of the open hypermedia approach to potential users of the technology.
