Abstract

Many analytical or computational applications especially legacy systems create documents and display screens in response to user queries "dynamically" or in "real time". These "virtual documents" do not exist in advance and thus hypermedia features must be generated "just in time" - automatically and dynamically. Additionally the hypermedia features may have to cause target documents to be generated or re-generated. This paper focuses on the specific challenges faced in hypermedia support for virtual documents of dynamic hypermedia functionality dynamic regeneration and dynamic anchor re-identification and re-location. It presents a prototype called JHE (Just-in-time Hypermedia Engine) to support just-in-time hypermedia across third party applications with dynamic content and discusses issues prompted by this research.
