In
hypermedia systems, a HyperDisco architecture is based on three levels of tools consisting of a combination of hypermedia tools and integrated third-party applications, as well as tool integrators. Tool integrators provide the hypermedia services to tools and act as session managers to coordinate a users’ access to multiple workspaces. In this system, the workspace provides both hypermedia
database and
document management services. These architectural elements may be distributed on
wide-area or
local-area networks.
