Abstract
A new model of hypertext, in which text is augmented with a fine-grained semantic net representation of the text, solves several problems found in traditional hypertext models. In the new model, hypertext links are paths that originate in the text, move across to the semantic net, traverse a sub-path through the semantic net, then return to a different point in the text. Benefits of the model include a strong semantics for links, dynamic discovery of links, link reusability, and automatic creation of links. The SNITCH hypertext system, which is based on this model, allows a user to access data in ways never foreseen by the hypertext author.
