Members of the Hypermedia Research Unit (HRU)
have been active in the area of intelligent
hypermedia systems since 1991. The group has its
origins in the development of a hypermedia
museum exhibit on local history from the
photographic archives of the Pontypridd Historical
and Cultural Centre. This inspired a research
project to investigate a dynamic, query-based
approach to hypermedia navigation and retrieval,
rather than static, fixed links. This interest has
broadened over the years and the HRU now
considers a range of issues.
Research Groups
Semantic Knowledge Organisation Systems and Services
Computing and Minority Languages Group (CaML)
Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
The HRU has attracted external funding from the
British Council, ESRC, EPSRC and HEFCW. There are
currently three full-time members of staff, one
research fellow, one research assistant and several
PhD students working in the unit. The Taylor and
Francis New Review of Hypermedia and
Multimedia -- the only specialist journal in
hypermedia -- has been based in the HRU since
1997.
