Huh? Bad terminology is bad terminology regardless of who's zoomin' who, Roy. Hypertext is a subset of hypermedia, and most experienced practicioners know that. Hypertext and links are not synonymous; that is correct. But unless you have something like the Dexter Reference Model, you probably don't have clear definitions for either of these terms. len -----Original Message----- From: Roy T. Fielding [mailto:fielding@apache.org] The research community uses the term "hypertext" to encompass all forms of interaction with information through active links. The term hypermedia is sometimes used as well, though much less now than a decade ago. We usually differentiate between active and descriptive links when talking architecture. Hypertext and links are therefore not synonymous. ....Roy
