'''Isulan''' is a 1st class [[Philippine municipality|municipality]] in the [[Philippine province|province]] of [[Sultan Kudarat province|Sultan Kudarat]], [[Philippines]]. It is the provincial capital of the Province of Sultan Kudarat. According to the [[2000]] census, it has a population of 73,129 people in 14,333 households.


==Barangays==
'''Hypertext''' SMILE=)most often refers to text on a [[computer]] that will lead the user to other, related information on demand. Hypertext represents a relatively recent innovation to [[user interface]]s, which overcomes some of the limitations of written text. Rather than remaining static like traditional text, hypertext makes possible a dynamic organization of information through links and connections (called [[hyperlinks]]). Hypertext can be designed to perform various tasks; for instance when a user "clicks" on it or "hovers" over it, a bubble with a word definition may appear, a web page on a related subject may load, a video clip may run, or an application may open.
Isulan is politically subdivided into 17 [[barangay]]s. Its nearest city is Tacurong.

==Etymology==
<td valign=top>
The prefix '''hyper-''' (comes from the Greek prefix "υπερ-" and means "over" or "beyond") signifies the overcoming of the old linear constraints of written text. The term "hypertext" is often used where the term [[hypermedia]] might seem appropriate. In 1992 [[Ted Nelson]] - who coined both terms in 1965 - wrote: <blockquote>By now the word "hypertext" has become generally accepted for branching and responding text, but the corresponding word "hypermedia," meaning complexes of branching and responding graphics, movies and sound - as well as text - is much less used. Instead they use the strange term "interactive multimedia" - four syllables longer, and not expressing the idea that it extends hypertext. - Nelson, [[Literary Machines]] 1992</blockquote>

==Types and uses of hypertext==
*Isulan Central Plaza
Hypertext documents can either be static (prepared and stored in advance) or dynamic (continually changing in response to user [[input]]). Static hypertext can be used to cross-reference collections of data in documents, [[application software|software applications]], or books on CDs. A well-constructed system can also incorporate other user-interface conventions, such as menus and command lines. Hypertext can develop very complex and dynamic systems of linking and cross-referencing. The most famous implementation of hypertext is the [[World Wide Web]].

===Early precursors to hypertext===
*Crystal City
Recorders of information have long looked for ways to categorize and compile it. Early on, experiments existed with various methods for arranging layers of [[annotation]]s around a document. The most famous example of this is the [[Talmud]]. Various other [[reference]] works (for example [[dictionary|dictionaries]], [[encyclopedia]]s, etc.) also developed a precursor to hypertext, consisting of setting certain words in small capital letters, indicating that an entry existed for that term within the same reference work. Sometimes the term would be preceded by a pointing hand [[dingbat]], <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">☞like this</span>, or an [[arrow (symbol)|arrow]], <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">➧like this</span>.

Later, several scholars entered the scene who believed that [[All humanity|humanity]] was drowning in [[information]], causing foolish decisions and duplicating efforts among scientists. These scholars proposed or developed proto-hypertext systems predating electronic computer technology. For example, in the early 20th century, two visionaries attacked the cross-referencing problem through proposals based on [[Manual labour|labor]]-intensive, [[Brute-force search|brute force]] methods. [[Paul Otlet]] proposed a proto-hypertext concept based on his monographic principle, in which all documents would be decomposed down to unique phrases stored on [[index card]]s. In the 1930s, [[H.G. Wells]] proposed the creation of a [[World Brain]].

==Hospital==
[[Michael Buckland]] summarized the very advanced pre-World War II development of microfilm based on rapid retrieval devices, specifically the microfilm based workstation proposed by [[Leonard Townsend]] in 1938 and the microfilm and photoelectronic based selector, patented by [[Emmanuel Goldberg]] in 1931.<ref name="Buckland">[[Michael Buckland|Buckland, Michael K.]] "[http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~buckland/goldbush.html Emanuel Goldberg, Electronic Document Retrieval, And Vannevar Bush's Memex]", 1992</ref> Buckland concluded: "The pre-war information retrieval specialists of continental Europe, the 'documentalists,' largely disregarded by post-war information retrieval specialists, had ideas that were considerably more advanced than is now generally realized." But, like the manual index card model, these microfilm devices provided rapid retrieval based on pre-coded indices and classification schemes published as part of the microfilm record without including the link model which distinguishes the modern concept of hypertext from content or category based [[information retrieval]].

===The Memex===
==Schools==
*Sultan Kudarat State University (today's Sultan Kudarat Polytechnic State College)
All major [[history|histories]] of what we now call hypertext start in 1945, when [[Vannevar Bush]] wrote an article in ''[[The Atlantic Monthly]]'' called "[[As We May Think]]," about a futuristic device he called a [[Memex]]. He described the device as a mechanical desk linked to an extensive archive of [[microfilm]]s, able to display [[book]]s, [[writing]]s, or any document from a [[library]]. The Memex would also be able to create 'trails' of linked and branching sets of pages, combining pages from the published microfilm library with personal annotations or additions captured on a microfilm recorder. Bush's vision was based on extensions of 1945 technology - microfilm recording and retrieval in this case. However, the modern story of hypertext starts with the Memex because "As We May Think" directly influenced and inspired the two American men generally credited with the invention of hypertext, [[Ted Nelson]] and [[Douglas Engelbart]].

==Distances from 3 major cities==
===The invention of hypertext===
Isulan is 88 km away from Cotabato City, 235 km away from Davao City and 62.7 km away from Koronadal City. It is a transportation hub of Region 12.
[[Ted Nelson]] coined the words "hypertext" and "hypermedia" in 1965 and worked with [[Andries van Dam]] to develop the [[Hypertext Editing System]] in 1968 at [[Brown University]]. Engelbart had begun working on his [[NLS (computer system)|NLS]] system in 1962 at [[Stanford Research Institute]], although delays in obtaining funding, personnel, and equipment meant that its key features were not completed until 1968. In December of that year, Engelbart demonstrated a hypertext interface to the public for the first time, in what has come to be known as "[[The Mother of All Demos]]".


==Communications==
Funding for NLS slowed after 1974. Influential work in the following decade included [[NoteCards]] at [[Xerox PARC]] and [[ZOG (hypertext)|ZOG]] at [[Carnegie Mellon]]. ZOG started in 1972 as an [[artificial intelligence]] research project under the supervision of [[Allen Newell]], and pioneered the "frame" or "card" model of hypertext. ZOG was deployed in 1982 on the [[USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70)|U.S.S. Carl Vinson]] and later commercialized as [[Knowledge Management System]]. Two other influential hypertext projects from the early 1980s were [[Ben Shneiderman]]'s [[The Interactive Encyclopedia System]] (TIES) at the [[University of Maryland, College Park|University of Maryland]] (1983) and [[Intermedia (hypertext)|Intermedia]] at [[Brown University]] (1984).
The town has [[Digital subscriber line|DSL]] from internet services of PLDT, SKTSI, SMART bro wireless and Globe wifi, some of restaurant and coffee house are [[Wi-Fi]] ready. The telephone services (TELOF, PLDT, SKTSI, GLOBE, BAYAN). Cellular phone services ( SUN,SMART,GLOBE ) and cable services provided by JVL Star Cable TV straight from Tacurong City and for rural areas covered by Dream satellite System .


===Applications===
==Transportation==
The first hypermedia application was the [[Aspen Movie Map]] in 1977. In 1980, [[Tim Berners-Lee]] created [[ENQUIRE]], an early hypertext database system somewhat like a [[wiki]]. The early 1980s also saw a number of [[experiment]]al hypertext and [[hypermedia]] programs, many of whose features and [[terminology]] were later integrated into the Web. [[Guide (hypertext)|Guide]] was the first hypertext system for [[personal computer]]s.


'''* Long Distance ride'''
In August 1987, [[Apple Computer]] released [[HyperCard]] for the [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] line at the [[Macworld Conference & Expo|MacWorld convention]]. Its impact, combined with interest in Peter J. Brown's GUIDE (marketed by OWL and released earlier that year) and Brown University's Intermedia, led to broad interest in and enthusiasm for hypertext and new media. The first ACM Hypertext [[academic conference]] took place in November 1987, in Chapel Hill NC.

'''* Within the borders'''
Meanwhile Nelson, who had been working on and advocating his [[Project Xanadu|Xanadu]] system for over two decades, along with the commercial success of HyperCard, stirred [[Autodesk]] to invest in his revolutionary ideas. The project continued at Autodesk for four years, but no product was released.

===Hypertext and the World Wide Web===
** Tricycle
In the late 1980s, Berners-Lee, then a scientist at [[CERN]], invented the [[World Wide Web]] to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing among scientists working in different universities and institutes all over the world. In 1992, [[Lynx (web browser)|Lynx]] was born as an early Internet web browser. Its ability to provide hypertext links within documents that could reach into documents anywhere on the Internet began the creation of the web on the Internet.


==Notable resident==
Early in 1993, the [[National Center for Supercomputing Applications]] (NCSA) at the [[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign|University of Illinois]] released the first version of their [[Mosaic web browser]] to supplement the two existing [[web browser]]s: one that ran only on [[NeXTSTEP]] and one that was only minimally [[Usability|user-friendly]]. Because it could display and link graphics as well as text, Mosaic quickly became the replacement for Lynx. Mosaic ran in the [[X Window System]] environment, which was then popular in the research community, and offered usable window-based interactions. It allowed images<ref>[http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q1/0260.html WWW-Talk Jan-Mar 1993: Re: proposed new tag: IMG<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> as well as text to anchor hypertext links. It also incorporated other protocols intended to coordinate information across the Internet, such as [[Gopher (protocol)|Gopher]].<ref>[http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q1/0261.html WWW-Talk Jan-Mar 1993: Support for CSO and gopher type 2<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
Laarni Losada, the winner of Season 2's ''[[Pinoy Dream Academy]]'', is from from Isulan, Sultan Kudarat. She graduated her elementary and secondary educations at Bambad National High School.


After the release of web browsers for both the [[IBM PC compatible|PC]] and [[Macintosh]] environments, traffic on the World Wide Web quickly exploded from only 500 known web servers in 1993 to over 10,000 in 1994. Thus, all earlier hypertext systems were overshadowed by the success of the web, even though it originally lacked many features of those earlier systems, such as an easy way to edit what you were reading, [[typed link]]s, [[backlink]]s, [[transclusion]], and [[source tracking]].


{{Sultan Kudarat}}
In 1995, [[Ward Cunningham]] made the first [[wiki]] available, which built on the web by adding easy editing, and (within a single wiki) backlinks and limited source tracking. Wikis continue to be a medium where features are implemented, which were developed or imagined in the early explorations of hypertext.

==Academic conferences==
Among the top academic conferences for new research in hypertext is the annual [[Association for Computing Machinery|ACM]] Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia ([http://www.sigweb.org/conferences/ht-cover.shtml] ACM SIGWEB Hypertext Conference page). Although not exclusively about hypertext, the World Wide Web series of conferences, organized by [http://www.iw3c2.org IW3C2], include many papers of interest. There is a [http://www.iw3c2.org/conferences/ list] on the web with links to all conferences in the series.

==Hypertext fiction==
''See main article [[Hypertext fiction]]''

Hypertext writing has developed its own style of fiction, coinciding with the growth and proliferation of hypertext development software and the emergence of electronic networks. Two software programs specifically designed for literary hypertext, ''Storyspace'' and [[Intermedia (hypertext)|Intermedia]] became available in the 1990s.

''Storyspace 2.0'', a professional level hypertext development tool, is available from [[Eastgate Systems]], which has also published many notable works of [[electronic literature]], including [[Michael Joyce]]'s ''[[afternoon, a story]]'', [[Shelley Jackson]]'s ''[[Patchwork Girl (hypertext)|Patchwork Girl]]'', [[Stuart Moulthrop]]'s ''[[Victory Garden (novel)|Victory Garden]]'', and [[Judy Malloy]]'s ''its name was Penelope''. Other works include [[Julio Cortazar]]'s ''[[Rayuela]]'' and [[Milorad Pavić (writer)|Milorad Pavić]]'s ''[[Dictionary of the Khazars]]''.

An advantage of writing a narrative using hypertext technology is that the meaning of the story can be conveyed through a sense of spatiality and perspective that is arguably unique to digitally-networked environments. An author's creative use of nodes, the self-contained units of meaning in a hypertextual narrative, can play with the reader's orientation and add meaning to the text.

Critics of hypertext claim that it inhibits the old, linear, reader experience by creating several different tracks to read on, and that this in turn contributes to a [[postmodernist]] fragmentation of worlds. However, they do see its value in its ability to present several different views on the same subject in a simple way.<ref>[http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~scriptor/papers/arthur.html The Game of Reading an Electronic Sir Gawain and the Green Knight<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
