Hypertext research in KM discipline

While KM is a recent phenomenon aiming to solve significant organizational and epistemic problems, hypertext research has already experimented with many KM objectives and needs. Aside from large breakthrought, smaller contributions have been made as well.

We discussed few applications that started earlier of Hypertext project in KM areas. These applications are:

NLS/Augment built by a development team in the Augmentation Research Centre (ARC) at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the early 1960’s
Knowledge Management System (KMS) developed at Carnergie Mellon University
Jasper described by Chen and Davies (1999)
Structure Elicitation and Processing of Ideas for Authoring (SEPIA), another early hypertext system involving structured management of ideas(knowledge ) as written

Annotive collaboration involving commenting and questioning orthers' work, simultaneous multi-user annotations, and contention management was incorporated through InterNote into Intermedia 1989 (Catlin et al., 1989). More structured information linking, sharing, management in a group environment was implemented in the collaborative environment was implemented in the collaborative environment Virtual Notebook System (VNS) for academic clinical research (Shipman III et al. , 199). Likewise NoteCards (Halasz, 1998) supported collaborative idea processing where users in a group could create nodes, add links to nodes created by others, and add annotations to other nodes.
