In general, hypertext projects can be assessed using these large criteria

The hypertext should be a critical, analytical work, with a significant element of originality; that is, the hyperdocument should be not merely a compilation of material from other sources, but a critical examination of the issues, of a work or works, or of a theme, chosen by the author of the hypertext.

The hypertext should participate in the larger scholarly discussion of its subject. It should refer to and contribute to the conversation of its subject in the scholarly community, through links and also through critical incorporation of ideas and materials.

The hypertext should use the structure of hypertextuality in a way that illuminates its subject. In other words, the linking of material should have a rationale that contributes to new understanding of the subject.
