NDLI: Experiences with HyperBase:a hypertext database supporting collaborative work

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Wiil, Uffe Kock
Abstract	This paper describes the architecture and experiences with a hyperbase (hypertext database). HyperBase is based on the client-server model and has been designed especially to support collaboration. HyperBase has been used in a number of (hypertext) applications in our lab and is currently being used in research projects around the world to provide database support to all kinds of applications. One application from our lab is a multiuser hypertext system for collaboration which deals with three fundamental issues in simultaneous sharing: access contention, real-time monitoring and real-time communication. Major experiences with HyperBase (collaboration support, data modeling and performance) gained from use both in our lab and in different projects at other research sites are reported. One major lesson learned is that HyperBase can provide powerful support for data sharing among multiple users simultaneously sharing the same environment.
