Abstract

Since the beginning of the WWW, tools have been developed to augment the functionality of the Web. This paper provides an investigation of hypermedia tools and systems integrating the World Wide Web with focus on functionality and the techniques used to achieve this functionality. Similarities are found and based on this, a new framework, the Arakne framework, for developing and thinking about Web augmentation is presented. The Arakne framework is flexible and supports most kinds of Web augmentation. Finally, an implementation of the Arakne framework is described and discussed.

Keywords
