A Proposal for a Reference Model for Cooperative HyperMedia Systems

At the time being, there is a lot of different systems claiming to be either multimedia, hypermedia, or supporting collaborative/cooperative work. In the following paper, a first attempt to clearify the notions of these concepts is tried. Multimedia content, hyperstructure organization and cooperative access will be identified as different features of an intelligent document. These features will be discussed under formal, information technology and implementation aspects.
