    Hypermedia Interoperability: Navigating the Information Continuum

    No full text
    Open Hypermedia Systems are designed to allow links to be authored and followed on top of any media format. The link structures are held separately from the documents in a software component called a Link Server. As hypermedia has matured as a research topic attention has turned to standardising the way in which components talk to Link Servers in order to provide interoperability. The Open Hypermedia Systems Working Group took up this challenge and proposed an Open Hypermedia Protocol (OHP). However, the scope of this proposal proved to be too large and the protocol was divided into domain specific parts (Navigational, Spatial and Taxonomic Hypermedia), tackling each domain differently, but consistently. It is questionable whether this step was the correct one, as the domains share many similar features. In this thesis I present a detailed examination of the information spaces that the OHP was attempting to model (from all these considered hypertext domains), which incorporates notions of both behaviour and context. This examination looks at what it means to navigate around the many dimensions of information, across these domains, and reveals a cohesive and continuous structure that I call the Information Continuum. The Fundamental Open Hypermedia Model (FOHM) is presented, which is capable of representing the structures of this continuum in a consistent and meaningful way. FOHM is coupled with an agent infrastructure to produce an implementation that demonstrates the model being used for cross-domain interoperability

    'En uproblematisk, stort set afsluttet lille affære' - En nærsproglig analyse af en novelle af Jan Sonnergaard

    This study examines how an unreliable narrator affects an overall interpretation of fiction. The short story, “Historie om en ung mand, der tvinges ind I et klædeskab, fordi et ubehageligt væsen bryder ind i hans kærlighedsliv på de mest umulige og ubelejlige tidspunkter”, from the collection of short stories Radiator by the Danish author Jan Sonnergaard, is the case of this study. Peripeteic texts or P-texts by Simon Uffe Borchmann and the cooperative principle, implicatures and the pragmatics of language by Paul Grice are the theoretical bases of this study. Moreover, the concept of the unreliable narrator by the literary theorist Wayne C. Booth as well as the redevelopment of this concept by James Phelan and Mary Patricia Martin’s will be introduced and applied. The analysis of the short story, which is structured after Borchmann’s peripeteic process of understanding, discovers that the unreliability of the narrator plays a vital role in the process of interpretation, which can be said about fiction in general. When it comes to the role of the different characters and how they are linked, the first reliable interpretation differs greatly from the second suspicious interpretation. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the possibility of a symptom reading of the unreliability of the narrator, as well as the role in which the interpretation of the reader plays on the exposing of unreliability.This study examines how an unreliable narrator affects an overall interpretation of fiction.

    A Winter at a Folk High-School.The Diary of a Pupil, from the “Provisional Period” of the 1880’s. (Ed. By Roar Skovmand). Reviewed by Uffe Grosen.Hitherto, in the literature about the history of the folk high-school, there has been no diary to give us clear evidence about the folk high-school as experienced here and now by one of its pupils. The present diary provides us with source material of this very kind, the author being, moreover, an intelligent, mature, and independent mind, a young qualified carpenter, who took an active part as a leader in the gymnastic movement in Stevns, his native district, and joined the winter course of 1884-85 at Vallekilde Folk High-School. He was attracted first of all by Ernst Trier’s strong personality and by Andreas Bentsen, the leader of the artisan department. The diary reveals a listener who is both deeply moved and critical. He refuses to be swept along spiritually, and remains his own self, even when seas run high. The diary was kept in the home of the author Niels Nielsen until his death in 1919. After the death of his wife in 1946 it came into the possession of his daughter Ellen Karlshøj, who died in 1968. It has now, through the agency of the Institut for dansk Skolehistorie, been edited by Prof. Roar Skovmand, and no editor, it may be safely said, could possibly be better qualified for the task. The diary gives an authentic impression of the way in which the pupils were influenced by Ernst Trier. However overwhelming his personality may be said to have been, he appealed to the love of independence in the young pupils. In the preface the editor rightly refers to a letter from Ernst Trier expressing the wish that his views may not be “glued on to the pupils” but that they will be “roused to reflection, to form their own opinions freely and independently”

    Shape relaxations in a fluid supported membrane during hydrolysis by phospholipase A2

    No full text
    AbstractThe behavior of a fluid supported membrane during hydrolysis by phospholipase A2 is for the first time visualized by time-resolved fluorescence imaging. After a lag phase, hydrolysis proceeds from the boundary of existing holes and via nucleation of new holes. During subsequent hydrolysis, the shape of the membrane boundary is determined both by hydrolysis and by shape relaxations due to the action of line tension. This is manifested by the appearance of Rayleigh instabilities in membrane rims and by an effect analogous to domain coarsening in phase transitions in which membrane holes decay when they are within a certain distance from larger and expanding holes

    Reconciling Versioning and Context in Hypermedia Structure Servers

    No full text
    Contextual structure servers and versioning servers share a similar goal in allowing different views on a stored structure according to the viewer’s perspective. In this paper we argue that a generic contextual model can be used to facilitate versioning. In order to prove our hypothesis we have drawn on our experiences with OHP-Version to extend FOHM’s contextual model
