Abstract: In this paper we present the current situation at the field of hypermedia data modelling. We list advantages and disadvantages of the most primitive hypermedia data model, i.e. the node-link data model and the models of the second generation hypermedia, such as the Hyperwave data model and HM-Data Model. We believe that an introduction of a semantic hypermedia data model, called the HC-Data Model can solve a number of problems in modern hypermedia data modelling. Thus, we give a formal definition of the HC-Data Model. At the end we in short present Structure Editor, an application that supports the HC-Data Model.
