The body of human knowledge is so large and is growing so fast that no single human mind can possibly comprehend its entirety. The best we can hope to do is to provide mechanisms which help us locate, structure and compile useful information. One approach is hypermedia. The human mind operates by association, jumping from one item of thought to the next, almost instantaneously. The hypermedia paradigm attempts to model this process with associative links between chunks of information.
