I don't know if this has been posted, but I just came across it again today while looking at a page where I've got my bookmarks in a list. It serves as a handy guide to understanding and helps pull things together in a simple way.

From the conclusion:

Hypermedia has two aspects: content and structural information. Researchers in various fields have been adapting and developing techniques for making hypermedia space, like the World-Wide Web, more usable. The current efforts have been focused on hypermedia modeling, visualization, information retrieval, computer human interaction, and query processing. In this paper, we summarized the recent research and development trends by functionality. We observed that significant technology evolution is by means of integrating content search and structural analysis for hypermedia organization and management.
Integrating Content Search with Structure Analysis for Hypermedia Retrieval and Management (http://www.cs.brown.edu/memex/ACM_HypertextTestbed/papers/29.html)

It's basically no more than a summary with references to papers up to the date of the writing that explains the progression of thought and ties them together, but it's a concise and clear way to understand how they relate to each other and how thought develops over time, with precepts evolving and being built upon previous precepts.

In the same vein, you might find BrainWareMap (http://www.jwelford.demon.co.uk/brainwaremap/) is a useful way to see what resources are available for 'Creative Learning'.

Let's keep an eye out for more recent research, it looks like a fruitful direction.
