Shared hypermedia workspaces can provide this flexibility. However, this requires the provision of openness with respect to both the hypermedia workspace and the collaboration support offered in such a collaborative open hypermedia system. In this paper we address the issue of how to identify key requirements of open collaborative hypermedia systems. We start with a scenario in order to come up with a preliminary set of requirements. We then apply a regular schema to generate a more comprehensive set of requirements for open collaborative hypermedia systems.","PeriodicalId":147920,"journal":{"name":"SIGWEB Newsl.","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116378561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
