Are cross-file jumps hypertext? =============================== Jumps between Systems containing many files or nodes, with each information units containing jumps to other files are often called ================= hypertext . But, ARE these programs hypertext? 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 Are these � Gofer -- searches for key words in all files � products � AskSam -- searches for key words in all files � hypertext? � ZyIndex -- indexes all words in all files � ========== 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 To extend word searches into hypertext, one might: (1) Sort a book index by page numbers (2) Make separate files at breaks in the page numbering (3) Add index cross-references to each of the files. Active While putting pieces of the index into each file is Cross-references an improvement over a single-location index, this ================ system does not organize the information into a unified body of knowledge. See taxonomies (more) Linguistic Nevertheless, HyperRez does contain linguistic methods Hyper-text (i.e., word oriented) of jumping to key words in ========== other files. These methods are: Hypertext jump ============== finds first occurrence of "text" in the defined file. Text search In constructing knowledge systems, I've created several text =========== searching programs that automatically build hypertext links. MATCH -- searches all files for user-entered text matches MP -- searches all files for defined phrase matches RMP -- searches all files for key word clusters While all this sounds grand, I think that good hypertext anticipates and solves all desired access to information without the user ever thinking of a need to search text.
