Trigg, Randall H., Clark, W. Ward, Hall, Wendy, Meyrowitz, Norman and Pearl, Amy (1992): Open Hypermedia Architectures and Linking Protocols. In: Lucarella, D., Nanard, Jocelyne, Nanard, Marc and Paolini, P. (eds.) Proceedings of ECHT 92 the Fourth ACM Conference on Hypertext November 30 - December 04, 1992, Milano, Italy. p. 284. Available online

“Most computer users today work with heterogeneous environments that include software from many vendors, multiple platforms needing to communicate, and information bases on remote machines. Their needs are often not for increased functionality in any particular application, but integration among existing applications. In the last few years, this need has been addressed through proposals for open hypertext architectures and linking protocols. In principle, these allow linking across diverse applications and even across platforms. Rather than a monolithic hypermedia system presenting its own editors for various media, the user sees a framework into which existing editors can be "plugged" and a linking protocol with which to interconnect them. Though the framework is usually a separate program, the hope is that support for such open linking will one day migrate into the operating system. Indeed, protocols from Apple and Microsoft are steps in this direction. Though the participants on this panel bring their own perspectives and backgrounds to the problem area, all share a belief that the future of hypermedia is not with systems that "own the world", but with those that attempt to "connect the world". Furthermore, the panelists and the projects they represent have developed significant open hypermedia architectures and linking protocols and can draw on experience with real users.”

“The Envoy Framework addresses a need for computer-based assistants or agents that operate in conjunction with users' existing applications, helping them perform tedious, repetitive, or time-consuming tasks more easily and efficiently. Envoys carry out missions for users by invoking envoy-aware applications called operatives and inform users of mission results via envoy-aware applications called informers. The distributed, open architecture developed for Envoys is derived from an analysis of the best characteristics of existing agent systems. This architecture has been designed as a model for how agent technology can be seamlessly integrated into the electronic desktop. It defines a set of application programmer's interfaces so that developers may convert their software to envoy-aware applications. A subset of the architecture described in this paper has been implemented in an Envoy Framework prototype.”

Meyrowitz, Norman (1991): Hypertext and Pen Computing. In: Walker, Jan (ed.) Proceedings of ACM Hypertext 91 Conference December 15-18, 1991, San Antonio, Texas. p. 379. Available online

“Some of the original goals of hypertext were accessibility, seamlessness, and connectivity. Yet most implementations of hypertext are still bound to large, immobile workstations, are operated with keyboards and mice and a reasonably complex interface, and are often focused on standalone, rather than connected, tasks. With the advent of pen-computing, we are beginning to see linking as a fundamental operating system and user interface component. In GO's PenPoint operating system, any selection in any notebook page can be linked to a selection on another page through the means of a simple pen gesture. The ability to create and follow links with a mere gesture creates a new level of accessibility to hypertext. Similarly, applications built on PenPoint are exploiting the pen interface for new generations of electronic book technology, in which browsing and search for information can be done without keyboard and mouse, in which annotation can be done with computerized "ink" and in which remote, wireless connectivity serves as a major new component. The demonstration will show each of these technologies and explain the fundamental basis behind each of these technologies.”
