....virtual presentation space. Transitions between these two slides will consequently portray this virtual separation through the distance traveled in the CounterPoint transition animations. A similar example of this concept from hypermedia is the warp coefficient suggested by Kaplan and Moulthrop [10]. Here a number is associated with each link on a hypermedia page to indicate the semantic difference between the content of the current page and the link s destination page. Relative Location Cues A major problem in hypermedia that also seems to plague slide show presentations is ....

....feedback for navigation and a range of possibilities for expressing emerging relationships. As Kaplan and Moulthrop point out, spatial hypertext need not only reflect an author s picture of relationships among nodes; it may also be used to represent a reader s growing conceptualization of meaning [11]. Hyperspace may draw upon physical metaphors (see Dieberger and Bolter in this issue) it may also serve as fertile ground for exploring new kinds of abstract spaces that exhibit characteristics not found in the physical world. We have begun such an exploration of abstract information spaces ....

.... have argued for more e#ective spatial representions of hypertext for some time [Dieberger, 1997, Masuda et al. 1994] Kaplan and Moulthrop argue that attempts to map the n dimensional semantic space of a hypertext onto two or three dimensional representations will always be imperfect [Kaplan and Moulthrop, 1994]. Hypertext representations carry over the underlying link node structure of the hypertext model and its visibility and mappability constraints. Finally, Zellweger introduces the notion of scripted documents, which explicitly support authored paths in a hypermedia system [Zellweger, 1990] The ....

As Kaplan and Moulthrop point out, semantic spaces need not be limited to the same degree of fixity as architectonic spaces [7]. Intelligibility of Organizations. Rapid performance of tasks does not bode well for requesting extraneous work in documenting either process or product, or in building complex argument structures. Our subjects left only the briefest indications of how they had organized materials. An automated ....

....an information system model for open world domains, and show prospective application areas. 3 System architecture The basic architecture of Werkl comprises two layers: a semi formal data layer and a formal index layer. This distinction between two layers follows the theory of ontological design [53, 32], where the representation of artifacts is divided into a semantic space and an architectonic space. The architectonic space accounts for explicitly represented properties of the artifacts while the semantic space covers the totality of all potential associations tied to these elements. Figure 1 ....

.... of an information need that cannot be expressed precisely using some query language; this might e.g. be due to the fact that in general the semantic content of the data layer is not sufficiently detailed formalized, given that the system operates within an indefinitely filled semantic space [32]. Instead, the user has to resort to an explorative information gathering process to obtain the sought after information. The user starts out by selecting a nonempty set of terms of an ontology of the index layer that seems promising , i.e. is assumed to refer to relevant data items. The system ....

....comfortable reference system for navigation, but provide additional navigational features to make navigation more efficient. The challenge in designing such a system is to use appropriate metaphors for nonspatial navigation so that it is easily understood and can be used effectively (see [7] In [13] it was advocated that we will need to re think out conception of space in hypermedia, and by extension, the dominant metaphor of navigation, that we use to describe transactions within it. The possibilities for creating navigational metaphors and mixed topologies make MOO systems promising ....

....applications of the WERKL architecture and discuss related research before concluding the paper. 2 THE ARCHITECTURE OF WERKL 2. 1 Architectonic and Semantic Spaces The content of the information space of open world domains can be qualified using the notion of architectonic and semantic spaces [24]: while the indefinitely filled semantic space covers the totality of all possible interpretations of the subject matter, architectonic spaces are explicit representations of particular views on the content, according to different information needs. The totality of all architectonic spaces c fl ....

....personal preferences or original work, and finally the yet to be formalized semantic space itself. As already mentioned, we use this term in the tradition of [54] and [11] for the concept of the domain of possible expression : where meanings or interpretations come into existence [24]. This notion of semantic space is contrasted to architectonic spaces, each of which represents one particular point of view and encodes the corresponding stable properties. This reification allows a shared manipulation of the content by both user and system. A system providing adequate support ....

....to follow. Our present work is situated in the domain of creative architectural design, where we advocate the interpretation of the problem solving task of designing as a special case of the generic query by refinement approach. Borrowing from Kaplan and Moulthrop s theory of ontological design [15], we expect our system to assist the user in the exploration of the combined architectonic 1 and semantic spaces of the domain: the architectonic space accounts for objective design properties, while the introduction of novel associations between elements of the multimedia database takes place ....

.... in the exploration of the combined architectonic 1 and semantic spaces of the domain: the architectonic space accounts for objective design properties, while the introduction of novel associations between elements of the multimedia database takes place in the indefinitely filled semantic space [15]. Consequently, the dimensions of the domain are not limited and cannot possibly be fixed a priori.

....should place its physical structure and its semantic contents in strong correspondence. Passini and Furnas made similar recommendations for wayfinding [61] and effective view navigation [29] respectively. 26 In a related discussion, Kaplan and Moulthrop contrast physical and semantic spaces [41]. Physical ( architectonic ) space, on the one hand, is regular, precise, stable, non overlapping, and absolute. Familiar metaphors drawn from physics, architecture, and daily experience are derived from physical space. Semantic space , on the other hand, is connected to meaning, interpretation, ....

....information space has semantic consequences, which are usually not supported by the system. Kaplan and Moulthrop set the design goal of generating architectonic structures which, though still engaged in precise graphical mapping, are better adapted to the multiplicity of semantic space [41]. In thought experiments, they propose egocentric weighted hypermedia links, as well as dynamically reconfigured hypermedia structure maps. Paraphrasing, the authors seek to display dynamic, local semantic information in hypermedia, in order to facilitate navigation. The comments of McKnight et ....
