From Integration of Information Technology and Computational Science in Education and Research Computer Science Seminar -- August 27 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


So let us imagine that we can redo all of this and assume that
  • There are plenty of conventional (HTML, XHTML) web pages but full support for XML and W3C DOM in browsers
  • XML can be used for control pages and specialized pages such as those produced by web-linked databases and education portals
Collaboration implies sharing of electronic objects and is needed in Asynchronous (most commonly used access to Web Pages) and Synchronous modes
Then we can integrate concept of portal with collaboration and use XML to define portal structure (curricula pages, quizzes, glossary etc.) and also allow one to define collaborative nature of each document component (who is in charge, how to synchronize etc.)
