Willard:
The TEI P3 provides some rather technical material on the issue
of more sophisticated linking than the kind of HREF linking
provided in HTML, and presents them in the context of scholarly
work. Indeed, many of the strategies discussed for the encoding
of scholarly analytical materials in the TEI are based on its
modelling of hypertextual linking. I don't know this for sure,
but it appears to me that the TEI's work has influenced both the
development of HyTime -- an SGML-based scheme which was designed
specifically to, among other things, provide means to represent
technically sophisticated linking models -- and more recently
XML's XLink and XPointer.

I know only of recommendations concerning the composition of
hypertexts, but have the impression these recommendations are
based on the empirical studies how >readers< behave reading
hypertexts. IMHO very interesting in this respect are some of the
essays in Rouet, Jean-Franois (ed.): Hypertext and cognition.
Mahwah, NJ, 1996.
I am also interested in newer studies, so please keep the list
informed if you think it is interesting enough.

I would recommend the book of essays, Hyper/Text/Theory, edited by George
Landow. In particular, there is an essay by Martin Rosenberg in that book
that argues that hypertext linking may put constraints on the writing
process, rather than freeing it up.
