Dissertation: Hyperstructure Image Organiser
My dissertation researches the application of hyperstructure to multimedia organisation, and aims to discuss the development of an image organiser which facilitates the use of transclusion. It includes discussion of previous technologies such as semistructure and relational databases, along with the problems experienced with both. Furthermore, it alludes to a similarity between the ideas of ZigZag and the mathematical theory of sets. This culminates in a discussion of a new area of hyperstructure theory called Dimensional Informatics, which attempts to provide a mathematical underpinning to this field. There is also analysis of the newly developed Mantra server, including both an evaluation and suggested improvements.
Both my dissertation and the Flash image organiser are available to download; however, you will not be able to connect to the Mantra server.
