Foil 21 Collaboration and Portals

From Uses of XML in Distance and Distributed Learning FSU Workshop on Symbolic Notations on the Web -- 8 October 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


We are discussing Web-based education or portals to a virtual university and we also build portals to computing
Merrill Lynch predicts that Enterprise Information portal market will be $15B by 2002
Portals are built as a customizable set of XML components ( e.g. Display a thumbnail of the next web-page in lecture or run a Particular Program )
Portals always support "asynchronous collaboration" but we can also built synchronous capability by extending Shared Web Page in our system Tango Interactive using XML to define nature of collaboration
