Deep Analysis & Enterprise Applications

Select a topic to dive deeper, then explore the specific findings from the research, rebuilt as interactive, enterprise-focused modules.

Hypercitation refers to the ability to reference and retrieve internal states, or sequences of states, of a computational system, yielding hyperlinks across and into hypertexts. These deep links into application state bring the reader directly into the working system and give them access to previously curated configurations of storage and memory.

The ephemeral nature of web links and hypertexts was understood to be a problem for citation in scholarly works as early as the 1990s. Our solution addresses this by providing durable, interactive links.

The Game and Interactive Software Scholarship Toolkit (GISST) is a new research system well-suited to resolving hypertext citation and reference issues. It stores and reproduces complete computing environments, supporting direct links to snapshots of running computational systems.

Case Study: Uncle Roger & Portal

Judy Malloy's Uncle Roger and Rob Swigart's Portal are early e-lit works that present unique challenges for preservation and citation. Using GISST, we demonstrate how hypercitations enable unprecedented access and analysis.

Challenge: Preserving the interactive nature of 1980s-era DOS-based hypertexts across diverse platforms.

Solution: GISST's emulation-as-a-service infrastructure preserves the original computing environment, allowing users to interact with the works as intended, from specific points in the narrative.

Result: Scholars can now directly cite and explore specific moments within these foundational works, fostering new research and collaborative insights, as demonstrated by an unplanned interaction with Judy Malloy herself during a presentation.

Implementation Roadmap

Our structured approach ensures a smooth transition and rapid integration of hypercitation into your existing research workflows.

Phase 1: Discovery & Scoping

Initial consultation to understand your specific archival needs and research objectives. Define the scope of works to be hypercited.

Phase 2: Data Ingestion & Emulation

Our team ingests your chosen digital works into the GISST platform, configuring precise emulation environments and creating initial hypercitation points.

Phase 3: Curated Link Generation

Collaborate with your researchers to identify key moments for citation, generating deep links into the interactive works, ready for integration into scholarship.

Phase 4: Training & Integration

Provide comprehensive training for your team on using the GISST platform and integrating hypercitations into their publications and teaching. Support for new forms of meta-hypertextual scholarship.
