“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

Tompa, Frank Wm., Blake, G. Elizabeth and Raymond, Darrell R. (1993): Hypertext by Link-Resolving Components. In: Stotts, P. David and Furuta, Richard (eds.) Proceedings of ACM Hypertext 93 Conference November 14-18, 1993, Seattle, Washington. pp. 118-130.

“In conventional hypertexts, links are explicit connections between specific regions of a text. We describe an architecture that treats links as the outcome of responses to user pokes. In this architecture, a hypertext is a collection of link-resolving components, each interpreting a user's request according to its own resolution algorithm. Each link-resolving component is a set of cooperative processes, communicating with a central network manager. When a user points at some location within a window, each link-resolving component is given a key derived according to a previously-stored algorithm; the link-resolving components concurrently update their displays according to their algorithms for resolving the keys. Multiple applications can easily share a common source and be invoked simultaneously, providing a concurrent browsing mechanism. Two example hypertexts employing this architecture are described.”

Raymond, Darrell R. and Fawcett, Heather J. (1990): Playing Detective with Full Text Searching Software. In: ACM Eighth International Conference on Systems Documentation 1990. pp. 157-166.

“Searching large text databases often resembles detective work. We explored this notion with an experiment in which subjects used powerful full text searching software to solve problems about the Arthur Conan Doyle story The Hound of the Baskervilles. The experiment was conducted in two parts: in the first part subjects attempted to teach themselves about the software using only the documentation; in the second part, subjects used the software to answer questions such as What brand of cigarette does Watson smoke? The experiment provided a great deal of feedback about the usability of the software and the documentation. Among the results that have wider implications are the need for better display of context, and a need for careful documentation of the characteristics of full text searching.”

Raymond, Darrell R., Canas, Alberto J., Tompa, Frank Wm. and Safayeni, Frank (1989): Measuring the Effectiveness of Personal Database Structures. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 31 (3) pp. 237-256.

“The increasing proliferation of electronic billboards, hypertexts, and other informal electronic databases necessitates effective tools for personal data structuring. An experiment was conducted to investigate subjective processes involved during structuring an online database. Ten subjects organized two hundred proverbs into hierarchical structures over four sessions and used their structures to solve queries. Structuring and retrieval activity in the online environment was markedly poorer than in a previous manual experiment. In both experiments retrieval performance was correlated to the level of distinction employed in the construction of categories.”

Raymond, Darrell R. and Tompa, Frank Wm. (1987): Hypertext and the New Oxford English Dictionary. In: Weiss, Stephen and Schwartz, Mayer (eds.) Proceedings of ACM Hypertext 87 Conference November 13-15, 1987, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. pp. 143-153.

“An alternative to manual composition of hypertext databases is conversion from existing texts. Such conversion often requires careful analysis of the text document in order to determine how best to represent its structure. We illustrate some of the issues of conversion with an analysis of the Oxford English Dictionary.”
