  • Patent number: 6574644
    Abstract: A system of hyperlink authoring allows authors to establish links in multimedia documents interactively and provides generalization and specialization mechanisms for transforming the content and context of the instances of links indicated by the authors into more general link rules that when executed can automatically generate a large number of syntactically similar links. A major component of the system, the link editor, comprises specifications for the source, the intermediate destination, if required, and the final destination. Each specification comprises content pattern generalization, pattern variable instantiation, attribute modification, context specialization and attribute variable instantiation. The output of the link editor is link specifications which are forwarded to an automatic hyperlinker which outputs linked documents.
