“Many people are having their first experience with a distributed hypertext system by using Mosaic or some other viewer based on HTML, the HyperText Markup Language of the World Wide Web. HTML's simplicity allows it to be created without special authoring tools or expertise, and the ubiquity of free WWW viewers like Mosaic removes one of the cost barriers. Because HTML is an application of SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup Language, it has also introduced many people to the concepts and syntax of application-independent markup. The explosive growth of the WWW makes it undeniable that HTML and Mosaic will serve as the reference point for much future thinking about hypertext and SGML outside of the academic and research community. But if HTML is to some people a democratizing force for hypertext authoring and publishing, to others its lack of structure and validation is a substantial step backwards for authors, readers, and their organizations. HTML has proven the basic premise of SGML, that a standard, application-independent data representation can enable blind interchange among disparate and even unknown or unpredicted applications. But to many SGML advocates, HTML is too primitive, and today's HTML documents will end up as tomorrow's cast-off legacy data format. HTML viewers may seem appealing for network publishing, but to some they are merely seductive and superficial, undermining years of careful research on usability and business models. The goal of this panel is to de-balkanize the bi-polar HTML camps and seek a productive role for all points of view. HTML and the WWW are simply too important for the academic and research community to ignore. HTML will not go away. We must participate in the evolution of HTML and find ways to become part of the network publishing revolution it represents.”

Paolini, Paolo, Glushko, Robert J., Dougherty, Dale, Kimber, Eliot, Rizk, Antoine and Russell, Daniel M. (1994): Does Multimedia Make a Difference?. In: Proceedings of ECHT 94 the ACM European Conference on Hypermedia Technology Sept 18-23, 1994, Edinburgh, UK. p. 247. Available online
“Hypertext applications and tools in general deal with "passive" media. Values of passive media are static, in the sense that as time progresses their presentation (state) does not change. Values of active media have the property of changing presentation (evolution of the state), as time progresses. Active media such as video, animation and sound are becoming a "necessity" in most recent Hypertext applications. The panel discusses the impact of the introduction of active media in the area of hypertext. The impact of active media upon hypertext can involve several aspects: presentation of the content, design of the applications, structuring techniques of the applications, interplay between synchronization and links, run-time support, communication performances and techniques for LAN or WAN architectures. Panellists argue that: * Hypertext should remain well separated from Multimedia, being a separated field, with a different set of notions and needs; * A limited number of changes will be enough in order to adapt most of the Hypertext notions and techniques to multimedia; * A revolution is needed.”

“An expert and diverse panel, drawn from business and academe, and from large corporations and entrepreneurial small businesses, discusses the business and management of serious hypertext projects. Topics include the transition from research to practice, the role of standards, identifying markets and customers, and organizations and mechanisms that ensure editorial quality, successful deployment, and commercial viability.”

Dougherty, Dale (1992): Standardization: Problems of Interchange and Delivery of Documentation Online. In: ACM Tenth International Conference on Systems Documentation 1992. pp. 145-147. Available online
“The first generation of online documentation systems are closed systems that bind a single body of information to the software required for delivery and access. The next generation of online documentation systems will be "open systems" developed around standards that allow information to be integrated from multiple sources. These online documentation systems will not be limited to the delivery of computer documentation but should provide a gateway to all kinds of information essential to a user, even information created by the user. This paper describes how the standardization of online documentation systems might be achieved by standardizing the information, not the technology. It describes the formation of the Davenport Group and its support of SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup Language (ISO/IEC 8879), and "HyTime", the Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language (ISO/IEC 10744).”
