Nanard, Marc, Nanard, Jocelyne and King, Peter (2003): IUHM: a hypermedia-based model for integrating open services, data and metadata. In: Proceedings of the Fourteenth ACM Conference on Hypertext 2003. pp. 128-137. Available online
This paper discusses a new hypermedia-based model known as IUHM (Information Unit Hypermedia Model). IUHM emerged as a result of the development of the OPALES system, a collaborative environment for exploring and indexing video archives in a digital library. A basic design requirement of OPALES is that it must permit and support the integration of new services throughout its life cycle. Thus, IUHM depends heavily upon the notions of extensibility and openness. Support for openness, extensibility and late binding of services is provided in the IUHM model by a single reflexive mechanism. This uniform mechanism is used for describing all relationships between arbitrary system entities, including services, data and metadata. The mechanism in question consists of a generic, computable hypertext structure with typed links, known as the Information Unit (IU), and is the minimal structural scheme to which all encapsulated entities comply. We describe and justify the design of the Information Unit, as well as the semantics of its four link types, namely role, type, owner, relative. We further describe the minimal kernel of the runtime layer responsible for the dynamic behaviour specified by the IUHM compliant hypertext network. We discuss the mechanisms involved in the dynamic binding of services and service composition. We illustrate these notions by real-world examples of the integration of metadata services within the OPALES system.

Nanard, Marc and Nanard, Jocelyne (2001): Cumulating and Sharing End Users Knowledge to Improve Video Indexing in a Video Digital Library. In: JCDL01: Proceedings of the 1st ACM/IEEE-CS Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2001. pp. 282-289. Available online
In this paper, we focus on a user driven approach to improve video indexing. It consists in cumulating the large amount of small, individual efforts done by the users who access information, and to provide a community management mechanism to let users share the elicited knowledge. This technique is currently being developed in the "OPALES" environment and tuned up at the "Institut National de l'Audiovisuel" (INA), a National Video Library in Paris, to increase the value of its patrimonial video archive collections. It relies on a portal providing private workspaces to end users, so that a large part of their work can be shared between them. The effort for interpreting documents is directly done by the expert users who work for their own job on the archives. OPALES provides an original notion of "point of view" to enable the elicitation and the sharing of knowledge between communities of users, without leading to messy structures. The overall result consists in linking exportable private metadata to archive documents and managing the sharing of the elicited knowledge between users communities.

Nanard, Jocelyne, Nanard, Marc and King, Peter (2000): Media Construction Formalism Specifying Abstractions for Multimedia Scenario Design. In New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia, 6 pp. 47-87
Most of the current work on the temporal aspects of hypermedia is oriented towards implementation and rendering. Relatively little work has been directed towards the design of hypermedia artifacts, particularly artifacts comprising large sets of media items with rich sets of temporal relationships. We introduce the media construction formalism (MCF), a formalism permitting the design of media construction abstractions (MCA) for the specification of multimedia scenarios. MCF provides constructs that can be understood and manipulated by designers at different levels of granularity and detail. MCF relies on a temporal model similar to that of SMIL 2.0, but targets design issues. MCF supports abstraction and re-use at the artifact design level and uses the notion of design patterns and the metaphor of roles, players and actors, to provide generic design descriptions. MCF provides an integrated specification of spatial, temporal, and object behavior, including composition which may depend on run time events. MCF provides a designer-friendly environment, incorporating a visual representation of partial designs together with a special-purpose structured editor.

In: Hypertext 98 - Proceedings of the Ninth ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia June 20-24, 1998, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. pp. 11-20. Available online
Reuse is increasingly strategic for reducing cost and improving quality of hypermedia design and development. In this paper, based on the design and development of a real hypermedia application, we classify and explore different types of reuse in hypermedia design. We show how constructive templates constitute a practical technique for capturing the specification of reusable structures and components and enabling the automation of the production process. We also discuss connections between constructive templates and design patterns.

Nanard, Jocelyne and Nanard, Marc (1995): Adding Macroscopic Semantics to Anchors in Knowledge-Based Hypertext. In International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 43 (3) pp. 363-382
We have developed a hypertext system that uses types to incorporate knowledge in hypertext. This paper addresses the problem of representing and using factual knowledge about documents for improving user interaction with documents in the context of a task. This application gives us the opportunity to discuss the extension of typing to anchors. We show that attaching knowledge to anchors through types must take into account the context of use of the anchored text. Thus, we introduce the notion of semantic anchoring of concepts within documents. We show how our system makes it possible to implement this approach without adding any new features. Beyond the experiment itself, the foundations of the approach and its connection with hypertext systems modelling, knowledge-based hypertext and knowledge acquisition are presented.

Macweb is a hypertext system that uses types to incorporate knowledge in hypertext. In this paper, we examine an application developed with the system for accessing a technical document base in the context of a task. This application gives us the opportunity to discuss the extension of typing to anchors. We show that attaching knowledge to anchors through types must take into account the context of use of the anchored text. Thus, we introduce the notion of semantic anchoring of concepts within documents. We show how Macweb makes it possible to implement this approach without adding any new features and how it provides an answer to the famous sentence "Don't link me in". Beyond the experiment itself, the foundations of the approach and its connection with hypertext systems modeling is presented.

It has been shown that the famous problem of user disorientation in hypertext is not due to the concept of hypertext itself but rather generally results from the lack of a conceptual model for hypertext application. Unfortunately, in most hypertext systems, the weakness of structure specification mechanisms discourages the development and use of such a model since it is difficult to reinforce hypertext structure and to really incorporate knowledge. A lot of works provide intelligent mechanisms to help navigation but either they use external knowledge or automatically synthesize links from information included in nodes which thereby have no sufficient conceptual value. The present paper focuses on an object-oriented hypertext model (implemented in the MacWeb system) using structured types to incorporate knowledge in hypertexts. Concepts and their relationships as well as their instances and their own relationships may be represented. Such a model makes the capture of knowledge at source easier thus allowing a more conceptual navigation. Furthermore, active behaviors may be associated, as methods, to types. This provides a powerful mechanism to help develop structured hypertext as well as task centered applications, by taking advantage of knowledge representation.
