Hypermedia – Front-end Requirements
Front-end Requirements
In order for the hypermedia engine to provide functionality such as management of link markers, comments, trails, overviews, filters, forward navigation and backtracking, the front-end should provide the following:
- Tracking the location of objects such as link markers and providing their identifiers to the engine when a link marker is selected.
- Front-end must request from the engine editing permissions for insertions, deletions, and modifications.
- User interface must provide hypermedia prompts.
- When the front-end saves a document with embedded hypermedia objects, the objects should also be saved.
