Abstract
The goal of our research has been to simplify the development of hypermedia information systems. Classical object-oriented methods are good at capturing the semantics of multimedia type hierarchies using inheritance and encapsulation. However, they are not good at describing the object interactions prevalent in hypermedia applications. Our approach has been to extend the model of an existing object-oriented method with a construct to explicitly capture object interactions. The result is an object-oriented method for the specification of hypermedia structures in information systems.Keywords
