We have developed an application that contains an authoring component, a document delivery component, and a user/group managment utility. The authoring component allows an author to publish a previously authored html document as a customizable InfoWeave document. The document delivery component allows users to customize their views of the document through the use of custom note attachments and dynamic link embedding. Finally, the user/group management utility allows the system administrator to create and maintain users and groups. Together, these components enable a student to generate personalized views of each document, and thereby facilitate distance learning and self-paced education.

The design and implementation of this application combines well-known concepts from open hypermedia systems, link embedding, collaborative filtering, and electronic notes.
