"abstract": "This paper introduces a new approach for improving hypermedia design, by providing the author with a tool to visualise, examine, and analyse the structure of documents containing hypermedia links. Our proposal is a new representation method the purpose of which is not to show the document structure in graphical form in order to enable the users to know where they are, where they can go next, or to give an overview of their environlncnt [12]. The purpose of our representation method is to depict what options the users are about to be offered, so that the author can examine the structure in order to better guide theln around the information space. Our representation is shown in the tbl'm of a map consisting of a proposed classification of elements that define the composition of a hyperdocument. To extract and classify those attributes we have analysed in detail all three dimensions of the hypermcdia cube: internal dynamics, external visual appearance and content synthesis. After introducing our diagrammatic notation we give a brief example of how it could be applied to an existing hyperlnedia application. In the boundaries of this paper, we include the part of the method which represents the structure of just one hypermedia document and its linked branches. The paper concludes with. a brief description of how the lnethod is applied to represent groups of hyperlnedia documents, and a discussion of our plans for future work.",

Somewhere in the middle of the description the author refers to Pheidias\" students who contributed in the construction of that most important temple of the ancient Hellenic civilisation. The words 'Pheidias' students' are visible anchors linking to documents of detailed information about each student. In this case the author has roused the reader's interest (magnetised) to learn about a subject completely different from the initial content. It is not a renaissance relation because there hasn't been any positive transition and the visible anchor leads the reader to a completely different context from the one in the source node.",

In other words, the reader and what they anticipate from the content in a source document, and the provided linked information.

Probably not because the destination node is only a static (level of interaction: passive) graphic-picture which complements (explanatory relation) the anchor. Therefore the reader remains at the first layer. For example if a document is about the statue of the eponymous heroes in the Athenian Agora and there is a visible link on the anchor 'the Tribe of Leontis' (defined by the author as a magnetic association) leading to a detailed document about that tribe, then the author has guided the reader to another layer.

The hypermedia author by segmenting the aggregate content, gives each subset -section or subsectionan entity. They consider it as something discrete or individual within the entity of the aggregate content. However, this does not imply that those subsets do not intersect with each other. In a hypermedia application, they could exist within the content, as self-subsistent or sell'created but they can also interrelate (be semantically linked). Some of the subsets, being either chapters sections or subsections, can supplement and complete a notional aggregation. By segmenting the content, authors can offer their best writing capability and meet their targets more easily. One of those targets may be the effective interrelation (linking) of subsets in order to achieve content coherence and comprehension. It is much more likely, that such targets will be met by the kermatism of the content (linked chapters, sections, subsections), rather than it, being a whole single linear unit.",

As represented on the map both visible anchors lead the reader to two different Graphic -Menu type of nodes. This means that while the users read the second paragraph of a seven paragraph document, they are \"'offered\" the opportunity to stop themselves from completing the reading of its content and to jump to a graphic-menu that contains links to completely different subjects. Again in this situation the author should either not link visible anchors to graphic menus in the beginning of the document or choose a more appropriate, invisible type of link. It is recommended however that the hypermedia author should not use these links at all, because both the content interruption, and the transition to completely difl~rent subjects, could mean the reader looses information taken from the source and become disorientated. Carrying on the examination of the structure in the fourth and fifth paragraphs respectively, two button links connect to pictures that complete the subject of the paragraph (explanatoly relation). The visible anchor 'The Eponymous heroes\" connects to a picture which is accompanied by text. Undoubtedly, if carefully assigned, that strategy saves, a step and a layer, from the depth of links, and the arrangement of cognitive layers, respectively. The visible anchor 'preserved today' connects to another picture which is also accompanied by text. The map shows that this picture contains an anchored graphic object that links to a video sequence. However, this anchored graphic object is not accompanied by a destination flag, which means that the reader is not being informed by the author that they should expect khwtic information. It is recommended that all anchors connecting to either sound or kinetic information such as animation, video or movement in a VR environment, should be accompanied by a destination flag (i.e. a video camera icon or mouse label) to indicate what type of object is linked to the anchor [19] . Moreover. that video node is relatively long (6\":35\"'). Especially with teaching material the length of video and animation sequences should be restricted in proper length. Such long video nodes (more than 4 minutes) might prevent users ['or comprehending the content, reduce the concentration and will to study and give much more complex operation of software tools [ 16] .",
