....confined to the medium provided for discourse: it will be distributed across all mutable representations. Therefore the software should support fluid cross talk between all representations by making the relationships between different representations and between acts on those representations clear [1, 6, 13, 18]. Our future work will focus primarily on asynchronous rather than synchronous online collaboration. This study has helped form a bridge to that work. Yet there remains much to be studied in the proximal versus distal paradigm. The roles of representations can be studied with different tasks, ....

The establishment of the big seven hierarchies itself was an act undertaken by the backbone cabal. Perhaps somewhat predictably, large conflicts arose around that time over the newsgroup naming and creation policies of the cabal, particularly when a number of popular proposed newsgroups ....

....subject threads using reply and chronology relations. The representation is based on the historical development of the discussion rather than its conceptual content, making it difficult to quickly grasp and assess the status of the discourse and hence to make contributions that move it forward [39]. The addition of categorical labels on contributions (e.g. 13, 30] can provide information about their intended role, yet does not escape the fact that the primary organization is an artifact of the discourse history. Similarly, CSILE s knowledge maps [11] are not knowledge maps at all, but ....

....be made more Efficient Some people make the conclusion that e mail should not be used for decisions, at least not for the most crucial and controversy solving phases of decision making. Other people, however, believe that tools can be developed to make e mail more efficient for decision making [21]. Which tools, then, can make e mail more efficient for decision making In order to answer this question, one should analyse the problems which occur in use of e mail for decisions. ######## The lack of body language, facial expressions and voice inflection makes it more difficult to get across ....

....links after a message has been written, and that someone else than the author of a message can add the link. 4# Practical implementation Part of what is suggested in this paper exists in some systems to some extent. There are several net based voting systems [3] 12] 22] and some systems [8] [21], for example the well known and controversial system The Coordinator [10] uses some additional thread structuring. At our department, we have started implementing an e mail query service especially oriented towards group decisions in organisations like IETF [15] Figure 3 shows part of the ....

....support technologies focus on relatively simple forms of communication for conferencing, brainstorming, passing messages, and routing documents. The advanced structures needed for large dispersed groups to effectively work together on a variety of issues using a range of media forms do not exist [51, 95]. Research on digital libraries primarily concerns archiving and retriev ing documents, though some community services such as peer review and annotation are being researched [13, 44] Little work has been done on workflow systems that are flexible enough to capture and support work processes in ....

....to achieve full consensus in large groups. CKS development will build upon computer mediated communication, concept maps, semantic hypertext, argumentation, and structural modeling to support the following activities: # Community members can propose and reach agreement on semantic structures [95] that categorize various portions of the knowledge domain (including communications, documents, and processes) # Members can use these same templates as morphologies for the collection, organization, and retrieval of discussions and other elements within the digital library. # Individuals ....
