Abstract: Hypertext developers now recognize that hypertext
        documents will be used and updated by large groups
        of people. This paper takes the next logical step by
        combining both real-time with asynchronous hypertext
        manipulation in their rIBIS system. An rIBIS session
        is a distributed meeting where participants can be
        in a 稚ightly-coupledモ or メloosely-coupledモ mode. In
        the first, tightly-coupled members all see the same
        thing, and take turns controlling and manipulating
        the hypertext display. In the second, a person works
        semi-privately by editing a portion of the hypertext
        ムonly large-grained changes are broadcast to other
        members. The result is a system valuable not only
        for storing information, but also for allowing
        people to actively capture and structure critical
        aspects of a meeting process.
