Abstract:
An important factor in the efficiency of distributed and virtual organisations is the ability to manage the content involved in every day activities, content that most often resides in documents. A collaborative document editing system that can automate and coordinate content production processes and provide flexible content manipulation, like combining data from multiple sources, can increase team efficiency and allow users to concentrate their efforts on content development. This paper presents a model implementing this approach in order to provide an efficient e-workspace that can be customized for wide variety of virtual organisations. The use of XML proves to be an efficient solution to provide a single source and multi publishing channels approach.
