Topic: ZOG (hypertext)


  
 Encyclopedia: Hypertext
The development of hypertext fiction, a branch of electronic literature, has coincided with the growth and proliferation of hypertext development software and the emergence of electronic networks.
Nelson coined the word "hypertext" in 1965 and helped Andries van Dam develop the Hypertext Editing System in 1968 at Brown University; Engelbart had begun working on his NLS system in 1962 at Stanford Research Institute, although delays in obtaining funding, personnel and equipment meant that its key features were not completed until 1968.
Guide was the first hypertext system for personal computers, but it was not very successful.

 History of Hypertext
ZOG was a large database designed for a multiuser environment.
Xanadu, a global hypertext publishing system, is the longest-running vaporware story in the history of the computer industry.
The ZOG database was text-only and originally ran on an IBM mainframe.

Hypertext is a computer-supported medium for information in which many interlinked documents are displayed with their links on a high-resolution computer screen.
Therefore search of the hypertext graph amounts to a definition of a network of implicit, virtual links, and keywords can be regarded as a kind of implicit, computed link.(28) The value of this insight is that it may allow design of a hypertext interface which is consistent across all link-tracing-like activities.
The history of hypertext is rich and varied, because hypertext is not so much a new idea as a natural and general use to which to put computers.

 Hypertext'87 Trip Report
Hypertext gives us a goto link which we know from software engineering gives "spaghetti." van Dam noted that it could be that we have also discovered the equivalent of if-then-else in the form of hierarchies, but we also need new forms of flow of control in structures that users recognize.
The original hypertext editing system ran in an 128 K machine timeshared with other users on a computer which was slower than a Macintosh.
In the long term he would assume that hypertext would become a standard inside computer systems and that all information in computers would become network/link based.

 Hypertext History -- Early Systems, Programs, Applications, Engelbart NLS, ZOG ...
Starting with Douglas Engelbart's influential NLS system in 1968, several working hypertext systems were developed over the years as both research efforts and commercial products.
Developed by Peter Brown in 1986 at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC) as the first commercial hypertext system for the personal computer, enabling hypertext linking and browsing of information and a content update capability.
Developed by Bill Atkinson in 1987 for the Macintosh computer, making a hypertext system widely available for the first time.

 Eastgate: Akscyn's law
A better solution, for sophisticated hypertexts that must provide crisp performance, may be to use the Web as a way to provide access to, and information about, hypertexts that can be downloaded (or purchased) as a unit and then performed on the user's machine.
The pre-loading strategy also demands either a coercive hypertext structure, where the designer knows in advance what the reader will see -- or it will waste the reader's time in downloading information that may never be used.
Unlike the pre-load strategy, which assumes that we're simply fetching some ephemeral data, we may view a hypertext as an artifact, something that we'll want to store and use.

 2L670: Hypermedia Structures and Systems
However, the first hypertext ideas and developments are much older, older in fact than most other phenomena in computer science.
However, one development which must be mentioned is the introduction of the World Wide Web, a freely accessible distributed hypertext, for which several freely available user-interfaces exist, and through which this course is being made available.
Andries van Dam develops the Hypertext Editing System at Brown University, followed by the introduction of FRESS in 1968.

 User Interface: GUI History
The ZOG project (1977) from CMU was another early hypertext system, and was funded by ONR and DARPA.
The Hypertext Editing System, jointly designed by Andy van Dam, Ted Nelson, and two students at Brown University was distributed extensively.
Engelbart's NLS system at the Stanford Research Laboratories in 1965 made extensive use of linking.

 Hypertext 2002 Blank Space
Another highlight of my work during this twenty year period -- has been the exploration of hypertext as a representation medium for software -- in which large-scale, hypertext structures are directly executable (as well as browsable).
This has lead to the belief that there is significant potential for the development of 'superprograms' -- software systems with billions of executable components housed in massively-parallel clusters, as a means of truly augmenting human intelligence in the day-to-day performance of knowledge work (i.e., what Doug Engelbart has been encouraging us to do all along).

 Wiki Wiki Origin
In 1972, researchers at Carnegie-Mellon University developed the ZOG database system for a multi-user environment.
The NoteCards idea descends from Janet Walker's Document Examiner for operation manuals of Symbolics computers, created in 1985, which descends from the ZOG system mentioned above.
There is nothing new under the sun - Ward was just the first person to put the pieces together and create wiki - a collaborative, general-purpose, easy-to-use hypertext system which doesn't require special software on the client side.

The user interface has been kept as simple as possible so that the KMS user doesn't have to learn lots of things to use it.
Two of the team that researched the ZOG project, Donald McCracken and Robert Akscyn, formed a company in 1981 called Knowledge Systems.
The Knowledge Management System began evolving in 1972, when a team from Carnegie-Mellon University began development on ZOG.
