A Two-Level Structure for Textual Databases to Support Hypertext Access.

Salminen, Airi; Watters, Carolyn

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v43 n6 p432-47 Jul 1992

Introduces a hypertext data model for textual databases in which the text is divided into a syntactic structure, which describes the relationships of the text parts, and an access structure, which is generated from the syntactic structure by users' queries. Implementation considerations for the structuring component, retrieval component, and interface are discussed. (32 references) (MES)
