Hypertext-a new challenge

The author discusses the hypertext concept, which is of interest as an electronic writing, reading, thinking, and communication tool that uses the power of computers for more than display and editing. The hypertext features fit a wide range of applications, the most challenging of which is analysis and design activities, including CASE tools. The design of a practical, specific-domain, hypertextlike system for a group of collaborating information analysts that is based on successful past experience with building and using such a tool is discussed.<>
