Towards a Proposal for a Standard Component-Based Open Hypermedia System Storage Interface

Abstract. This paper takes a first step towards defining a standard component-based open hypermedia system storage interface in the context of the Open Hypermedia System Working Group. The paper presents a proposal for the core set of services of such an interface. The existence of such an interface is one of the basic preconditions for interoperability at the middleware level in hypermedia systems. The proposed interface has been implemented both as a stand-alone hypermedia storage service and as a basic service in the Construct development environment. Both implementations are in Java and are based on underlying file system services.
