Abstract
Object based computer system which has objects and object parts which are either (a) semantic, relating to stored data, or (b) presentation, relating to presentation of the semantic objects to the user. Multiple presentation objects, or viewers, can be linked to a particular semantic object so that an intelligible user's model of the system results. Representation objects provide particular forms of presentation of data of the semantic objects and may be linked so that alternative and multiple presentations of the data of a semantic object are possible.
