Hypertext’s meta-history: documenting in-conference citations, authors and keyword data, 1987-2021
No full textConferences such as ACM Hypertext have been running for many decades and the metadata on their collected publications represent a valuable scholarly meta-history on areas such as the community’s health, diversity, and changing interests. But the metadata about these papers is not readily available for analysis, and the data collection and cleaning tasks appear substantial. In this paper we attempt to explore this challenge using the ACM Hypertext series as a case study. Taking the ACM Digital Library as a starting point, and using a combination of manual and automatic methods, we have constructed and released a 3-star Open Dataset representing over 1000 publications by almost 2,500 authors. An initial analysis reveals a modestly-sized but robust conference, with a changing pattern of in-citations that co-occurs with the arrival of social media, and a relatively consistent but imbalanced gender ratio of authors that shows some signs of recent improvements. The challenges encountered included identifying discrete author names, potential issues with text retrieval from PDF, and a disparate set of author keywords that reveals an absence of a common vocabulary. These insights are the results of a hard-fought process that is made complex by an incomplete digital record and a lack of consistency in naming. This Hypertext case study thus reveals a serious shortfall in the way that scholarly activity is captured and described, and questions PDF as the primary method of recording publications. Addressing these issues would make further analysis more straightforward and would allow larger events (with orders of magnitude more data) to be analysed in a similar way
Docuverse despatch: Information farming for the collective
No full textSince the 1993 paper on Information Farming[5], hypertext has grown in scale and in the degree of its collective editing and use. This paper reflects on what these changes in scale and volume mean for the task of the information farmer and asks if we understand the skills and tools needed for the task of sustaining the docusphere

Beyond the page-break: towards better tools for remediation of born-digital documents
No full textA legacy of print is that much of our process and tooling is predicated on using text in paginated form, such as was required for (paper) printed media. Increasingly, digitally-created (‘born-digital’) documents will never be used non-digitally and yet their internal structure is still optimised for paginated presentation. As modern displays now offer the affordance of decomposition and remediation of complex documents, this article explores the limitations of this legacy design for post-paper-print era use and considers the design implications for writing tools intended for the new digital era
Developing a Framework for the Visualisation of Learning Analytics in UK Higher Education
No full textLearning analytics has vast potential as a tool to further unlock the effectiveness of education in a digital age. The amount of data that can be gathered from varying access points can provide new insight and knowledge into how learners are interacting with course materials, learning systems and even fellow classmates. Research and experimentation is uncovering forms of best practice and possible factors on which to centre the analysis of students in an effective way, however learning analytics has yet to be comprehensively implemented country-wide in the United Kingdom
Sustainable Knowledge in Hypertext
No full textHypertextual in nature, the Web in its earliest form was technically limited and not capable of using the full richness of hypertext at that time. Despite subsequent advances in Web technology, some of the older hypertextual capabilities remain unrealised and hypertext/media appears to be treated more as a technology than a medium. For a hypertext docuverse that holds changing information, such as a knowledge base, paying heed to its hypertextual structure aids the long-term health and sustainability of the knowledge it contains. Wikipedia is the world largest public hypertext knowledge base. Constantly updated by humans and bots, it is an ever-changing knowledge store. Using Wikipedia as a context, this thesis investigates whether large collaborative hypertexts show signs of their contributors using deliberate hypertextual structure or are simply connecting ‘pages’ of digital content. The research also considers collaborative hypertexts in the context of social machines with regard to sustaining organisational knowledge as hypertext content. The results reveal under-use of processes available to sustain and improve an organisation’s docuverse and a gap in organisational roles and skill-sets to apply those processes
