Abstract

With the increasing proliferation of chat applications on the Web, the old vision of "adding people" to the Web, is becoming a reality. While infrastructure seems to be scalable and stable enough to support collaboration, the user model is not well defined yet. In particular, there seems to be a certain lack of abstraction and granularity in existing solutions. This paper studies the current restrictions of two common concepts in collaboration on the Web, namely "people awareness" and "document awareness", and proposes a more general one that we call "collection awareness", which seems more adequate to the graph structure of the Web. We introduce a new medium for supporting this higher-level awareness: "Livemaps".
