Tutorial 2

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.
