Hypertext configurations: Genres in networked digital media
本文提出一个概念框架,用于区分不同类型的异构数字材料,认为超文本配置(如脚本、链接、交互过程和时间缩放)是造成大数据混乱的主要来源,并重新将超文本置于网络数字媒体解释的中心。
The article presents a conceptual framework for distinguishing different sorts of heterogeneous digital materials. The hypothesis is that a wide range of heterogeneous data resources can be characterized and classified due to their particular configurations of hypertext features such as scripts, links, interactive processes, and time scalings, and that the hypertext configuration is a major but not sole source of the messiness of big data. The notion of hypertext will be revalidated, placed at the center of the interpretation of networked digital media, and used in the analysis of the fast‐growing amounts of heterogeneous digital collections, assemblages, and corpora. The introduction summarizes the wider background of a fast‐changing data landscape.
