Taming the Wild Hyperlinks: A New Definition for Website Buttons and Links

This paper proposes formal definitions for "hypermedia control" and its generalization, focusing on interactive elements in web pages like buttons and links. It introduces htmx and Hyperview, two implementations demonstrating increased interactivity, mainly within the context of web technologies.

Explain Like I'm Five

This paper tries to formally define what a "hypermedia control" is, like buttons and links on websites. It then shows how this definition can be used to make websites more interactive.

Possible Conflicts of Interest

None identified

Identified Limitations

Limited scope of generalization
The paper focuses heavily on HTML and web technologies, making the generalization less applicable to other hypermedia systems.
Limited demonstration of implementations
While the paper presents two implementations, they are both based on web technologies (htmx and Hyperview), limiting the demonstration of the generalization's broader applicability.
Lack of evaluation
The paper lacks a rigorous evaluation of the proposed generalization in diverse hypermedia systems and contexts.

Rating Explanation

The paper presents a novel formalization and generalization of hypermedia controls. However, its focus on web technologies and limited evaluation restrict its broader impact.
