Was verstehen andere Autoren unter Hypertext?

Die Begriffe "Hypertext" und "Hypermedia" wurden von Ted Nelson geprägt:

»As populary conceived, [hypertext] is a series of chunks connected by links which offer the reader different pathways«. [Ted Nelson. Literary Machines. Page 0/2, Edition 90.1, Mindful Press. 1990. Zit. In: hypertext-faq]

Andere Definitionsvorschläge:

»Text which does not form a single sequence and which may be read in various orders; specially text and graphics [...] which are interconnected in such a way that a reader of the material (as displayed at a computer terminal, etc.) can discontinue reading one document at certain points in order to consult other related matter«. [Oxford English Dictionary Addition Series (Volume 2), Edited by John Simpson and Edmund Weiner. Clarendon Press. 1993. Zit. In: hypertext-faq, J. Blustein (02-Feb-1997).]
