The Concrete Context Level

The abstract hypertext description defines the association between content elements and the structure. It does not indicate how links are to be presented in the display of the content. Such considerations of the mapping from the hypertext's abstract representation to its physical representation are addressed in the concrete context level.

The concrete content presents a physically-oriented description of the hypertext. This mapping must address the following points:

The mappings on this level do not rely directly on the structure (abstract component level) because the structural relationships have been "encoded" into the representations of the abstract hypertext level.
