Paper Abstract:
|
Collaboration is primarily a human issue: people need both the opportunity to collaborate, in terms of time, and a reason
to do so in terms of being able to benefit from it. While people dealing privately with the Internet are generally very
willing to participate in social collaboration and knowledge sharing, within the structured working environment most
people do not have the leisure to exchange knowledge and pursue information sharing activities. This is usually due to
their time restrictions and the lack of a collaborative culture in the organisation. This is a very important point and
supports the view that while the technical infrastructure must make it easy to perform these activities there still needs to
be the motivation to do it.
The aim of the DICTE study is to pave the way for the practical implementation of a collaboration platform that
addresses collaboration from both a cultural and technical perspective. This means that the DICTE platform needs to be
user friendly (e.g. adequately performing) and have a well structured interface, so as to induce people to collaborate: this
will be achieved, in part, through exploiting the Web2.0 (and beyond) paradigm. |
