Abstract

In this article, an evaluation of the behavioral change of groups collaborating towards the production of multilingual digital content is provided by using the data publication duration times as a proxy. In parallel, the assessment of feedback as a stimulant of social behavior in developing such systems is given. The evaluation is based on a system developed by a consortium of experts in the context of a European project towards the provision of an eServices platform on Organic Agriculture (OA). Group behavior of the partners involved is studied and analyzed using regression models for the extraction of trends and patterns while the results of their collaboration are discussed and valuable conclusions regarding the improvement of collaborative work over the Internet are presented.
