Definition
- Hypertext is not just HTML.
Hypertext in education
History
This is a very incomplete timeline:
- 1945: V. Bush, As We May Think
- 1965: Ted Nelson invents the word "Hypertext"
- 1968: [Engelbart] demoes "HyperMedia" over the network
- 1981: Start of Ted Nelson's [Xanadu project] which never managed to take off, however there finally was an available implementation in 1999 (?)
- 1992 First commercial hypertext system by Eastgate (still sold as [Storyspace])
- 1989: Tim Berners-Lee builds the first prototype of the WWW and invents HTML, formally as a SGML application.
- 1991: Gopher (Menu-based navigation through files and services on the Internet)
- 1992-1993: The WWW starts spreading
- 1992 / 1997 [Hytime] is a complex SGML application. Hytime is an ISO standard that has rarely been used, but it had a big influence on the definition of more recent Web Standards like XLink.
- 1995 Ward Cunningham invented the first Wiki. Wikis are probably the only popular [[CMS]s that are compatible with the Hypertext concept.
