We have developed a collaborative hypertext system, called Many Using and Creating Hypertext (MUCH), and used it in creating and accessing hypertext Our system emphasises connections among concepts and provides rich opportunities for people to get overviews The discussion and annotation modes of collaborative hypertext might be added to the normal search mode of large-volume hypertext and give people the kind of system envisioned by the pioneers of hypertext
