OC: A System for Open Collaborations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Existing collaboration systems have a fundamental limitation: they assume that collaborative groups consist of only of individuals known personally by someone with the authority to add to the group membership. The OC (Open Collaboration) research prototype presented in this paper addresses this problem by introducing trust negotiation into collaboration systems. Our approach separates the profiles used by groups and individuals in order to let entities control their privacy. We extend the family of RT languages to specify the requirements of assigning a role and describe how to create and maintain a collaboration. In addition, we design two modes for disseminating group profiles and classify three kinds of identities according to their sensitivity.
