Abstract

HIFI is one of the Esprit III information-processing system and software projects. The goal of HIFI is to create a set of tools that can be used to cheaply and quickly build a hypertext-like interface on top of an external database-information system. The interface provides interactive navigational access to information both within a database of one kind and across databases of different kinds, including multimedia. HIFI´s model for the navigational interface, mapping strategy to map the interface model to database structures, and architecture for the execution tools are discussed.<>
