Abstract

Hypermedia design is usually ad hoc. Whereas the original Relationship Management Methodology (RMM) provides a structured approach to design and implementation of hypermedia applications, it has limitations that constrain the usability of the kinds of applications it can construct. This paper provides extensions to RMM that enable it to model a much richer class of applications, thereby making the methodology more attractive for software developers to use. The paper also presents a graphical and programming language notation for RMM´s new m-slice construct, which is at the core of the extensions presented
