'''Hypermedia''' is used as a logical extension of the term [[hypertext]] in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and [[hyperlink]]s intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information.This contrasts with the broader term ''[[multimedia]]'', which may be used to describe non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. It is also related to the field of [[Electronic literature]]. A term first used in a 1965 article by [[Ted Nelson]].<ref>http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=806036 Complex information processing: a file structure for the complex, the changing and the indeterminate</ref>
The [[World Wide Web]] is a classic example of hypermedia, whereas a non-interactive [[Movie theater|cinema]] presentation is an example of standard multimedia due to the absence of hyperlinks.
The first hypermedia work was, arguably, the [[Aspen Movie Map]]. Atkinson's [[HyperCard]] popularized hypermedia writing, while a variety of literary hypertext and [[hypertext]] works, fiction and nonfiction, demonstrated the promise of links. Most modern hypermedia is delivered via [[electronic page]]s from a variety of systems including [[Media player (application software)|Media players]], [[web browser]]s, and [[stand-alone application]]s. Audio hypermedia is emerging with [[voice command device]]s and [[voice browser|voice browsing]].
== Hypermedia development tools ==
Hypermedia may be developed a number of ways. Any [[programming tool]] can be used to write programs that link data from internal variables and [[Node (computer science)|nodes]] for external data files. Multimedia development software such as [[Adobe Flash]], [[Adobe Director]], [[Macromedia Authorware]], and MatchWare Mediator may be used to create stand-alone hypermedia applications, with emphasis on entertainment content. Some [[database]] software such as [[FoxPro|Visual FoxPro]] and [[FileMaker|FileMaker Developer]] may be used to develop stand-alone hypermedia applications, with emphasis on educational and business content management.
Hypermedia applications may be developed on embedded devices for the mobile and the [[Digital signage]] industries using the [[Scalable Vector Graphics]] (SVG) specification from W3C ([[World Wide Web Consortium]]). Software applications such as [[Ikivo Animator]] and [[Inkscape]] simplify the development of Hypermedia content based on SVG. Embedded devices such as [[iPhone]] natively support SVG specifications and may be used to create mobile and distributed Hypermedia applications.
Hyperlinks may also be added to [[data file]]s using most [[business software]] via the limited [[scripting language|scripting]] and [[hyperlink]]ing features built in. Documentation software such as the [[Microsoft Office Suite]] allows for hypertext links to other content within the same file, other external files, and [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] links to files on external [[file server]]s. For more emphasis on graphics and [[page layout]], hyperlinks may be added using most modern [[desktop publishing]] tools. This includes [[presentation program]]s, such as [[Microsoft Powerpoint]], add-ons to print layout programs such as [[QuarkXPress|Quark Immedia]], and tools to include hyperlinks in [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] documents such as [[Adobe InDesign]] for creating and [[Adobe Acrobat]] for editing. [[Hyper Publish]] is a tool specifically designed and optimized for hypermedia and hypertext management. Any [[HTML Editor]] may be used to build [[HTML]] files, accessible by any web browser. [[CD/DVD authoring]] tools such as [[DVD Studio Pro]] may be used to hyperlink the content of [[DVD]]s for [[DVD player]]s or web links when the disc is played on a [[personal computer]] connected to the internet.
== Hyper Land ==
[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7190175107515525470 HyperLand] is an old film that shows the idea of what adaptive hypertext and hypermedia are.
