Links represent an author's perception of inter-relationships among information.
Hypertext allows readers to easily and rapidly browse the nonlinear information network in the order most appropriate to the reader's task by activating links. This paper uses DBMS as a sample domain. Web database development is a hot new field. Most database applications handle queries and generate HTML from query results without inferring links. Those database applications do not meet our definition of integration with DMISs since they do not allow users to access other aspects of database objects.
