KBS Hyperbook -- A Data-Driven Information System
on the Web
This paper discusses a new kind of electronic books,
hyperbooks, which are structured based on semantical content
and relations, and whose structure is explicitly modeled by sets of
structural and semantical abstractions based on book content,
as well as on didactical and adaptation aspects. The paper extends
current hypertext modeling and meta modeling approaches by integrating
the notion of meta modeling with the notion of multiple perspectives,
and describes the design and implementation of such a book using the
KBS Hyperbook System for a CS1 course "Introduction to Programming".
