Recently, many enterprises have attempted to incorperate hypermedia functionality into their diverse range of business applications such as decision support systems, document management, software management, and team collaboration. This paper presents a methodology for designing hypermedia applications based on users views. In designing hypermedia applications, view support is highly desirable. The methodology consists offive phares: requirement analysis, data modeling, view design, navigational design and mapping. Views art generated from the entity-relationship diagram, and used for subsequent novigational and mapping design. This methodology is especially effective for intergrating enterprise wit distributed hypermedia systems on the Internet.
