Abstract

This paper proposes a new content type for communicating version information between Web browsers and clients. This is an enabling technology for a variety of possible WWW applications, including very flexible annotation and collaboration facilities. The relation of version management to consistency in hypertext systems is discussed in terms of how it meets some basic requirements for collaborative systems.

Designing to support adversarial collaboration
CSCW '00: Proceedings of the 2000 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work

We investigate the phenomenon of adversarial collaboration, through field studies of a legal firm. Adversarial collaboration requires that people with opposing goals (adversaries) come to agreement, usually producing a shared product that reflects the ...

Shared workspaces are an important means for supporting long-term synchronous and asynchronous collaboration. Shared workspaces themselves become difficult to manage due to increasing size and constant change. This is especially true for shared ...

Collaborative Information Retrieval (CIR) is a well-known setting in which explicit collaboration occurs among a group of users working together to solve a shared information need. This type of collaboration has been deemed as beneficial for complex or ...
