Foil 27 Two Uses of XML in Collaboration?

From XML and Shared Places on the Web XML Developers Conference Montreal -- August 19-20 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Lukasz Beca, Marek Podgorny
We have introduced XML used to define the nature of collaboration in terms of objects, clients, policies
We have discussed user customization in terms of portals
Consider the JavaScript Shared Browser (JSSB) in TangoInteractive
It is an example of collaborative content built around sharing events defined in Web Page
  • Difficulties with "version 4 DOM" as bugs and inconsistent or incomplete implementations
  • However it can be made to work very effectively
Here we discuss "content" Web pages and not the "Collaboration Definition" Web pages we discussed already
Remember that "shared event" Collaborative systems share the object and not its particular presentation layer on each client
