In several hypertext systems today, following a link means a *disruptive* change |
XXX |
|
in the user's workflow, replacing the current context (e.g., a Web page) with an |
|
|
entirely different one. This is partly caused by the dominant graphical user interface paradigm |
|
|
(developed in the 70s at Xerox PARC) in which *pages* |
|
|
are shown in overlapping, rectangular, unconnected viewports (windows). |
|
|
In this paradigm, following a link can only create a new window |
|
|
or replace the contents of the current window. |
|
|
In our opinion, this is one of the root causes of hypertext disorientation. |

The Fenfire project is an effort to build a location transparent, hyperstructured desktop |

environment. We perform research on the theoretical and user-interface issues arising in the |
|
22 |
Fenfire project and on the new possibilities that a more hyperstructural approach to |
4 |
23 |
information opens to user interfaces. Additional research include complex data structures, |
|
24 |
different kind of data storage models and custom controllers. |
**Funding period:** |

|
26 |
Fenfire uses xanalogical storage model as a basis for hyperstructured media. Each data |
1.1.2004 - 31.12.2005 |
27 |
item in the Fenfire system has a globally unique identifier. We use RDF semantic web technologies to |
|
28 |
present information and relationships of information in our system. For location transparency |
**Site:** |
29 |
in the Fenfire system, we study Peer-to-Peer technologies to implemenent networking infrastructure. |
