✦ Synopsis

The use of a hypertext link service to augment the WWW has been demonstrated in an experimental environment. Now that the WWW community is addressing the issues of hypertext linking in the form of XLL, it is necessary to look hard at the issues of link semantics. Of particular interest is how semantics can be communicated to a general browser, given the contrasting approaches of link interpretation from the SGML and hypertext research communities.
