Hyper-G (known as HyperWave in its commercial version) was an OpenHypertext system inspired by early developments of the Web.

Hyper-G provided more advanced hypertext functionality than the existing Web infrastructure:

  • Automatically indexed document collections could be shared and combined arbitrarily

  • Users could create bi-directional links between arbitrary documents and collections.

Although Hyper-G offered a full interface to the 'underlying' Web, the advanced functionality of the system could only be accessed through the Hyper-G clients, which failed to achieve widespread acceptance.
