Two Uses of XML in Collaboration?

• 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
