W(h)ither Spatial Hypertext?

Spatial Hypertext (SH) has been a long-standing facet of research within the Hypertext field, yet active research is declining despite ongoing interest in the concept. Is this because the question of SH’s nature is resolved, or because is needs re-contextualising? This paper summarises SH’s history for today’s post-Web researcher as well as current SH research, tools and SH’s possible future.

Abstract

Spatial Hypertext (SH) has been a long-standing facet of research within the Hypertext field, yet active research is declining despite ongoing interest in the concept. Is this because the question of SH’s nature is resolved, or because is needs re-contextualising? This paper summarises SH’s history for today’s post-Web researcher as well as current SH research, tools and SH’s possible future.
