ABSTRACT
We motivate the need for new environments for collaborative reasoning and describe the foundations of our approach, namely collaboration, semantics, and adaptability. We describe the CRAFT collaborative reasoning interface and infrastructure that we are developing to explore this approach.

Reusing the SIOC Ontology to Facilitate Semantic CWE Interoperability
OTM '08: Proceedings of the OTM 2008 Confederated International Conferences, CoopIS, DOA, GADA, IS, and ODBASE 2008. Part II on On the Move to Meaningful Internet SystemsDue to the increasingly large volumes of data that today's businesses handle, effective data management is a key issue to be addressed. An important aspect of data management is data interoperability, or the ability of information systems to exchange ...
Coordination challenges in a computer-supported meeting environment
Special issue: Organizational impact of group support systems, expert systems, and executive information systemsIn this study we observed the coordination activities of groups collaboratively writing in a low-structure computer-supported meeting room. We used video analyses of the sessions to identify well-coordinated and poorly coordinated groups. Through user ...
