Introduction to COHSE
by Yeliz Yesilada, Sean Bechhofer, and Bernard Horan
August 29, 2007 - This technical report describes the Conceptual Open Hypermedia Service (COHSE) collaborative research project between Sun Microsystems Laboratories and the School
of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, UK. COHSE enables the dynamic creation of hypertext links between Web documents.
The current approach to creating a web of hyperlinked resources is to embed links
within documents. The consequence of this approach is that links on the Web are
unidirectional and difficult to author and maintain. COHSE presents an alternative
approach in which links are added to documents according to the preferences of the user.
This approach reduces the maintenance burden and provides a flexible means of
creating links between existing web documents. For example, it allows us to create
links between separate silos of content (such as Sun's many external public websites)
without requiring the content of those sites to be changed.
The intended audience for this document comprises those members
of academic and industrial research groups whose focus includes the Web in general
and the Semantic Web and Hypertext in particular.
