Abstract
The world wide web (WWW) has made hypermedia applications widespread. Originally, the WWW was used only for 'freestyle', unrestricted browsi ng and its foundation technologies reflect this. Now, developers are w orking on more advanced hypermedia for new application domains. Improv ements in graphical user interfaces, adaptive guidance and integrated navigation support are the main objectives. In this paper, we present Java as a mature implementation language for advanced Internet hyperme dia. A minimalistic Java approach (MJA) towards development is introdu ced. MJA integrates Java with existing object-oriented hypermedia desi gn methodologies. MJA is illustrated with HyperMap, a browser applicat ion for spatial hypermedia. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
