System requirements for large scale community collaboration

Work is becoming more collaborative in business and public enterprises. The goal of enabling collaboration is to share knowledge and develop new innovative outcomes. Enterprises are increasingly faced with providing communication systems to support the collaboration and for people to share knowledge to work collaboratively. Collaboration now often goes beyond supporting small teams but increasingly requires collaboration across large enterprises. This growing importance of collaboration in large scale evolving systems is calling for ways to use new communication technologies, especially those based on Web 2.0, to support enterprise wide collaboration.
