摘要

In this paper, we consider several new aspects of modern hypermedia systems. The applications discussed include:
General Information and Communication Systems: Distributed information systems for businesses, schools and universities, museums, libraries, health systems, etc.
Electronic orientation and information displays: Electronic guided tours, public information kiosks, and publicity dissemination with archive facilities.
Lecturing: A system going beyond the traditional to empower both teachers and learners.
Libraries: A further step towards fully electronic library systems.
Directories of all kinds: Staff, telephone, and all seas of generic directories.
Administration: A fully integrated system such as the one proposed will mean efficient data processing and valuable statistical data.
Research: Material can now be accessed from databases all around the world. The effects of networking and computer-supported collaborative work are discussed, and examples of new scientific visualization programs are quoted.
The paper concludes with a section entitled ''Future Directions.''
