| Description: | Hypermedia is an effective technology for helping manage the myriad
of heterogeneous artifacts, systems, and relationships, which exist in
large-scale software engineering projects. Chimera is an open hypermedia
system with explicit support for heterogeneity augmented by a deep integration
with the WWW. Chimera provides a set of flexible
abstractions, which enable the integration of hypermedia services into familiar tools. Integration with the WWW leverages the Web's robust support for distribution within Chimera, enabling remote access to Chimera's hypermedia information. |
