Abstract
An open hypermedia-document storage system has to meet
requirements that are not satis ed by existing systems: it

i.e. document types enriched with application-speci c se-
mantics. It has to provide hypermedia-document access
methods. Finally, it has to allow the exchange of hyperme-
dia documents with other systems. On a technical level, an
object-oriented database-management system, on a logical
level, a well established ISO standard, namely HyTime, is
used to satisfy the requirements mentioned above. By means
of the example of documents incorporating hypertext struc-
tures we discuss the impact of taking such an approach on
