In this paper, we introduce a framework to automatically build associations between pieces of information in different media. The key idea is to use a semantic model to co-index the entire information space and exploit the reasoning capabilities of the knowledge base in defining strategies of navigation. The main advantage over traditional hypermedia lies primarily in the ease with which the system can be updated since the new data is automatically conected to the rest of the information. Examples are given from a prototype hypermedia to navigate documentation about the Cycle of the Months of Torre Aquila at the Buonconsiglio Castle in the city of Trento, Italy

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a framework to automatically build associations between pieces of information in different media. The key idea is to use a semantic model to co-index the entire information space and exploit the reasoning capabilities of the knowledge base in defining strategies of navigation. The main advantage over traditional hypermedia lies primarily in the ease with which the system can be updated since the new data is automatically conected to the rest of the information. Examples are given from a prototype hypermedia to navigate documentation about the Cycle of the Months of Torre Aquila at the Buonconsiglio Castle in the city of Trento, ItalyI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
