This paper describes an open hypermedia system which allows content
based navigation and retrieval from both text and non-text media. The
system provides a variety of link types including the generic link
which, once authored from a particular selection, may be followed from
any instance matching that selection. The paper also describes the
concept of a multimedia thesaurus and illustrates how it may be used
to enhance the navigational capabilities of the system, allowing links
to be authored on one representation of an object and followed from a
different representation.
