A Medium for Distributed Collaboration in Information Intensive Domains

Abstract

Visage Link extends Visage's capabilities to include collaboration among geographically distributed users. Visage Link facilitates collaboration among users by providing an architecturally sound framework for shared and private workspaces. In Visage Link, the set of data concepts in a Visage frame (a component that shows different views and arrangements of data elements) provides a shared domain of discourse. Like many collaboration and CSCW systems, Visage allows collaborating users to exchange and view data in shared frames. Visage Link also allows different users to view different representations of the same data, each in a manner that enhances their ability to contribute to a distributed problem.
