Goate is a purely proxy only solution, focused on being high level linking to the browser. 3.4 Presentation ....

We believe that in order to be successful for the Web, open hypermedia must be really open. Existing systems supporting third party links such as the Distributed Link Service (DLS) [9], or Webvise [23,24] implement OHS, but make it hard for independent software developers to create components which could be used in conjunction with the prototypes, because they are based on their own proprietary data and link models.

The interface implementation became infeasible to maintain as the code had to be altered for every release of the Netscape browser. It was also platform and browser specific. The DLS was then implemented as a Web proxy [16]. The difference in the implementations is an important change.

....have similar indications. We distinguish two basic entities: trail marks and trails, where a trail is composed of a number of trail marks and the user decides what should be contained in a trail. 1. 3 DIM agents Adopting separate links has important advantages for authors and readers alike (see [8]) especially when working with a complex, distributed information system. Meanwhile, the trail information provides a means of answering questions such as who else has seen this document or what else should I read . However, systems that work with first class links and trails are more ....

....information; they can launch keyword extractions of documents they have visited; or retrieve information which other users trails contain a document. 2. Collaboration Supported by Trails, Links and Agents The MEMOIR architecture is an evolution of the Distributed Link Service (DLS) (Carr et al. 1995). While the DLS, like other open hypermedia systems, treats hypermedia links as first class objects, MEMOIR promotes another kind of object: the trail (Bush, 1945; Nicol et al. 1995) A user s trail is the set of actions on documents that they have visited (such as opening the document) in ....

....that have to manage diverse sources of information and that rely heavily on their research and development function. The system described in this paper is currently being trialled by users in two such organisations. The MEMOIR architecture is an evolution of the Distributed Link Service (DLS, [4]) While the DLS, like other open hypermedia systems, treats hypermedia links as first class objects, MEMOIR additionally promotes another kind of object: the trail. A user s trail is the set of actions on documents that they have visited (such as opening the document) in pursuing a certain task. ....
