Advanced Web Site Management
WORKSHOP ABSTRACT
Hyper-G/HyperWave is the first second generation WWW server. It allows to
manage huge amounts of data with a fraction of the usual effort, helps in
information maintenance and ensures link consisteny. It is also the only
tool to move WWW contents to a CD ROM readily. In addition, Hyper-G/HyperWave
offers a range of novel features for both inforamtion provider and user.
Hyper-G/HyperWave has been called the best WWW server solutions for large
amounts of data by WWW pioneer Robert Cailliau, CERN, Hypertext visionary
Ted Nelson, Xanadu, or Jacob Nielsen, the well-known author of the most
widely used Hypermedia textbook.
Half Day Sunday, 7 July
About the Workshop
This workshop assumes prior knowledge of WWW. It is for all those who are
or are planning to run a substantial WWW server. Hyper-G/HyperWave is often
called the "first second generation WWW (server) system" since
it combines all features of WWW with advanced data base, search and adminstration
facilities. It comes with a full slate of tools to make WWW site administration
easier than ever. Although Hyper-G/HyperWave is used with standard browsers
such as NetScape, Mosaic or the Internet Explorer, it comes with customized
"authoring browsers" that offer advanced navigational features.
HyperG/HyperWave is mainly an asset for Web site management, but does also
help the user who is browsing the site with additional functionality. The
brand new "Hyper-G Bible" "HyperWave:The Next Generation
Web Solution, H.Maurer; Addison Wesley Longman, UK (1996) , ISBN 0-201-40346-3"
will be provided to workshop attendees.
Who should attend
Anyone interested in running a big WWW server for applications in education,
electronic publishing, public information, medical applications, presentations,
and cooperation via the net
