本論文試圖分析並解決日益複雜的網站資訊系統(WIS; Web Information System)的超媒體(Hypermedia)設計問題。本論文分析現今超媒體設計方法的各項需求，提出一個包含需求分析、概念模型設計、導覽模型設計、實作等各階段的超媒體設計方法論。本論文提出的是以使用者為中心的超媒體設計方法論，首先做完整的需求分析：考慮網站任務、使用者的種類、目的與使用方法，並採用Conallen的網站應用程式架構模型(Web Application Architecture Model)為導覽結構模型的基礎，以提供整個網站資訊系統架構的完整設計，並且提供由需求分析到導覽結構模型的步驟與指導方針。除了擴充目前的超媒體設計方法論外，本論文亦改進網頁組成標記語言（WebComposition Markup Language）而提出網站建置語言，用以建立實作框架以促進網站資訊系統的實作與維護，並且與所提出的方法論結合。

In this thesis, we try to analyze and solve the hypermedia design problem for web information systems, which is growing more and more complicated day by day. We analyze the requirements for a hypermedia design methodology nowadays and propose a hypermedia design method comprising four phases, namely, Requirement Analysis, Conceptual Model Design, Navigational Model Design, and Implementation. The method we propose is a user-centered approach, according to it, a complete requirement analysis is made at first - on site mission, user types, user intention, and user usage. And we provide design guidelines for phases from requirement analysis to navigational structure model design, for which we adopt Conallen''s Web Application Architecture Model as the basis to describe the full architecture of a web information system. Besides extending current hypermedia design methodology, we also improve the WebComposition Markup Language and propose the Web Construction Markup Language, and then couple the proposed method to it, which can help in constructing an implementation framework to facilitate the implementation and maintenance of a web information system.
