Abstract

This paper describes the design and results of an exploratory user study to explore the concept of views on information objects. The concept was developed to support personalized sharing of documents in a distributed environment. Different to typical versioning systems, our document model consists of several parts, modelling text, illustrations and metadata as separately linked items. A view on a document defines display and access rules for each part of the document, such as hidden, anonymized or read-and-write. Our paper-based study explores how participants collaborate with each other while parts of the collaboration documents may be hidden from view.
