Dr Simon Buckingham Shum

This talk is a recorded introduction by Simon Buckingham Shum, Hypertexts Programme Chair to the ACM Hypertext 2004, for the panel on Scholarly Hypertext, held August 9-13, 2004, Santa Cruz. It sets the context for the panel discussion on the HT'04 conference's radical experiment in soliciting and publishing hypertext research contributions as hypertexts, before inviting the panellists to reflect on the experiment and envision future developments. The original HT'04 call for hypertext submissions can be viewed here.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
