Your boss wants you to create a hypermedia system for Web visitors to
find technical support information about your company. What are some of
the implications in creating this system? Should you hand-build the
links or use an automatic indexing system? Why?
Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term
hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text
and hyperlinks intertwine to create a generally non-
linear medium of information. This contrasts with the
broader term multimedia , which may be used to describe
non-interactive linear presentations
as well as hypermedia.
Hypermedia includes use of sound, video, image and text. This helps the user to know about the product of
the company. The user can view and test the product so
for as view of the product is concerned. However the hypermedia
restricts the speed of web and it also enhances the time taken for
opening of the site.
So for as the use of hand build indexing system
and automatic indexing is concerned, it is the glue that holds the
content together. It is the layer of order which makes data base
product, robust, and responsive,
thus best ever to serve the needs
of organization. However without automatic indexing, one may find the
precise bit of data that will ignite a new market
