Hypertext and Managing Knowledge

Heinz Dreher

Curtin University of Technology, Australia

As the world’s store of knowledge increases, and knowledge-workers in contemporary organizations face the

imperative of consulting that record, and contributing to it, in order to satisfy a diversity of users and uses, we need

to find more efficient and effective ways of dealing with the vast volumes, and have strategies, processes, and

systems for managing them. Hypertext technology is a good way to structure and access explicit knowledge. The

"Dreher Hypertext Development Methodology" is proffered to guide the development of suitably structured and

accessible knowledge repositories. The multitude of users - readers and writers, are empowered, and the diversity of

uses - finding, accessing, structuring, linearizing (printing), and much more besides, are facilitated.
