Case Study: Distributed Case Study: Distributed Collaborative AuthoringCollaborative Authoring
The web was conceived as a collaborative environment but
the first tools made widely available were passive ones. Active tools needed to help users to simultaneously
browse and edit documents and to save them on remote servers.
Allow users not only to create, edit and publish pages on
the web, but also provide a structured approach to
documents, helpful in collaborative activity. Provide users with a comprehensive collaborative
authoring environment where they work on shared
documents almost as if they were working on a single
private document.
