ABSTRACT
A process model used in the design and evaluation of hypertext systems
is discussed. The model includes asynchronous processes of task
analysis, document analysis, literature survey and systems evaluation,
interpretation of data, designing and building systems, and collecting
data. For each process, experiences with NaviText SAM, a hypertext
interface to a reference source, are discussed. A variety of new
methods for evaluation of experimental systems are presented along with
several empirical results.
