It is concerned with all aspects of modern hypertext research including social media, semantic web, dynamic and computed hypertext and hypermedia as well as narrative systems and applications. Hypertext 2016 will focus on missing links on the WWW: how can the Hypertext paradigm and research inspire and improve the Web? Which missing links (and linking paradigms) can improve connections, communication and collaboration? Apart from the regular research tracks, Hypertext 2016 will feature a creative track. The conference will take place at the campus of Dalhousie University in Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia and the major cultural centre of Canada’s Atlantic provinces. EXTENDED PROCEEDINGS The Extended Proceedings provide a publication opportunity for early stage research results, as compared to the full-paper track of the conference. Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session during Hypertext 2016. Submission categories are: CREATIVE TRACK Track Chair: Stacey Mason (University of California, Santa Cruz, USA) In the wake of a booming resurgence of interest in creative hypertext over recent years, we are increasingly seeing new directions and possibilities for artists exploring the creative potential of the link.
