Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper we outline a practical approach to capturing the communication and information sharing activities of online
collaboration groups such as distributed design teams. Following a non-interfering process, we trace digital
communication channels such as project wikis and emails for relationships between people and information resources. To
this end, we have implemented d.store, a resource-oriented platform to consolidate extracted associations in project teams
and to construct semantic information networks as a formal representation for the relationships at project run-time. With
that, the platform becomes a significant element in the social construction of common information spaces on the Web and
enables the graph-based analysis of multi-modal communication characteristics in online collaboration of global virtual
teams. |
