In 1992 researchers noticed that there were two distinct kinds of HypertextSystems evolving, both easily describable using the DexterReferenceModel:
What was missing was a clear specification of the interface between these two types of system: the Anchoring Interface of the DexterReferenceModel. In response Multicard was developed. Multicard unifies these two approaches by offering a basic set of hypermedia tools accessible via a standard interface: the M2000 protocol.
Links in Multicard can be thought of as event or message channels between objects. For example, to follow a link, an 'activate' message is sent through the channel. The M2000 protocol allowed scripting languages to easily reconfigure the behaviour of the Multicard system.
