Hypermedia database
A hypermedia database is a computer retrieval system. The database allows the user to access texts, video and audio recordings and photographs. Files are stored according to subject.
Hypermedia Database
Hypermedia database comprises a set of interconnected multimedia web pages. In this type of database, information is stored online and the data can be accessed by several users at a time.
Hypermedia, an extension of the term hypertext, is a nonlinear medium of information which includes graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia, which may include non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. It is also related to the field of electronic literature. The term was first used in a 1965 article by Ted Nelson.
The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia, whereas a non-interactive cinema presentation is an example of standard multimedia due to the absence of hyperlinks.
The first hypermedia work was, arguably, the Aspen Movie Map. Bill Atkinson's HyperCard popularized hypermedia writing, while a variety of literary hypertext and hypertext works, fiction and nonfiction, demonstrated the promise of links. Most modern hypermedia is delivered via electronic pages from a variety of systems including media players, web browsers, and stand-alone applications (i. e., software that does not require network access). Audio hypermedia is emerging with voice command devices and voice browsing.
Hypermedia applications
Accessing information is basically different when using hypermedia than when using traditional database technology. Typical traditional database access is via direct inquiry using unique keys, or queries in the information database. In hypermedia, information access is handled through structuring the information. Users access new information by following links from existing information to new information.
Simply put, information in hypermedia databases has three typical
