The application of hypermedia in the factory information environment

摘要

This paper examines some of the issues involved in developing a hypermedia application for use across a manufacturing enterprise. The issues addressed include: user interface, application authoring, portability of information, revision control, and communicating with external resources. To demonstrate a number of these principles a case study is used. The case study delivers training and maintenance information to operators at Pirelli Cables, Aberdare.
