Linking Constraints

This would be a good paper for Hypertext 2001, with a submission due date of Monday, January 15th. The topic is making Joosty constraints around established and classic hypertext metrics and pattern. Usually, these are discussed for analysis for guides to authors. In our usual turnabout, we can explore (semi-)automatically generating them. Some papers we can use to supply these metrics and patterns are:

• Botafogo, Rodrigo A., Rivlin, Ehud and Shneiderman, Ben, "Structural Analysis of Hypertexts: Identifying Hierarchies and Useful Metrics", ACM Transactions on Information Systems, Vol 10, No 2, April 1992, Pages 142-180.
• Mark Bernstein, "Patterns of hypertext", Proceedings of Hypertext 98, June 20-24, 1998, Pittsburgh, PA USA Pages 21-29.

A broader, contextual point to make is that this (semi-)automatic generation is important for Halasz's first issue.
