Abstract

Data sharing is fundamental to computer-supported cooperative work: 'people share information through explicit communication channels and through their coordinated use of shared databases. Database support tools are therefore critical to the effective implementation of software for group work. This paper surveys data sharing requirements for group work, highlighting new database technologies that are especially likely to affect our ability to build computer systems supporting group work.
