Developed as a hypertext framework for information distribution [Berners-Lee 1992] , its overseeing organisation (W3C) has insisted on maintaining and developing a suite of open standards for data formats, communication protocols and programming interfaces to allow all comers to participate in a globally shared information repository. However the Web is just one example of how the development of hypertext philosophy, design and deployment has led to practical solutions for information dissemination, manipulation and maintenance. This paper describes how hypertext systems have evolved to become distributed and open providers of information services and examines the nature of the linking that forms the basis of hypertext functionality.
