Popis: We have developed a hypertext system that uses types to incorporate knowledge in hypertext. This paper addresses the problem of representing and using factual knowledge about documents for improving user interaction with documents in the context of a task. This application gives us the opportunity to discuss the extension of typing to anchors. We show that attaching knowledge to anchors through types must take into account the context of use of the anchored text. Thus, we introduce the notion of semantic anchoring of concepts within documents. We show how our system makes it possible to implement this approach without adding any new features. Beyond the experiment itself, the foundations of the approach and its connection with hypertext systems modelling, knowledge-based hypertext and knowledge acquisition are presented.
