Hypertext Links: Whither Thou Goest, And Why
Claire Harrison,

Sccording to the author, hyperlinks provide semantical relationships for users. That is, they add to meaning, suggest or refer to supporting evidence, organization by category, and the like. The author thus approaches the classification of different types of hyperlinks by semantical category rather than (as in previous work) grammatical (or syntactical) category. And so, quoting Burbules, it is worth examining "the subtle and not-so-subtle implications that links make through association." The taxonomy of links provided is a good one and I agree with the paper's intent and overall conclusion.
