INTRODUCTION
Hypermedia combines both hypertext and multimedia.
Introducing new problems like linking data components that present
temporal continuity along with spatial and exhibition features.
Its an extension to the combination of hypertext characteristics with
those of multimedia.
It allows composition of an associative structure equivalent to a
semantic network, where nodes can be expanded into a variety of sensorial
forms such as visual and audio info.
Considering hypermedia as a paradigm to develop information-oriented
systems, there is a definite need for hypermedia data models.
The model requirements are different from those of conventional data
bases or documents mainly when aspects such as navigation through data,
user interaction, and data perception and synchronization of components
with temporal continuity are considered.
This paper briefly touched on RMM (Relationship Management
Methodology), while focusing mainly in two of its steps:
1)information domain modeling
2)navigational design.
