Abstract :
Hypermedia systems have become increasingly popular as tools for user-driven learning and information retrieval. This paper describes a dynamic linkage method that allows adaptive modification of links in hypermedia dependent on users, with the aim of providing satisfactory navigation for each user. A design support tool for constructing network data in accordance with the method is also presented, and a prototype system and an associated design support tool are evaluated
