Collaboration Tools and Technologies

From Datafedwiki

Collaboration tools and technologies enable efficient interaction and shared content/product development through a common set of tools and strategies that facilitate multi-contributor work. This workshop, and associated page in the Federation wiki, will provide some background information on a variety of collaboration tools that Federation members might find useful in developing shared content and materials. The following sections provide specific information relating to different classes of collaboration tools.

Information Science

Collaboration is...

• Sharing of resources
• A series of conversations to get to a goal (SocialText)
  • Gathering people
  • asking questions
  • collecting answers, ideas, feedback...
• Creating things together

Collaborative Web Content Generation

These stages can happen in parallel

Resource Sharing

thrown out, no links, in own form (i.e. datasets, txt files, imgs, etc), portals

Open Networking - Something in between sharing and creating things together

Links between shared resources, loosely coupled tags, network (i.e. DataFed, Flickr, GoogleEarth, del.icio.us) Notes from 06-06-11:

Geotagging:

Delicious - non-intrusive, third party HTML - rigid, provider supplied,

Networked New Creation

Documents, create science/understanding together with information that wasn't there before but also uses shared resources too. Directly consumable GEOSS!

Collaborative Document Production

Content Management Frameworks

Portal Frameworks

JSR-168
