Abstract:
An important aspect in distributed teams and organization is their ability to manage documents. A collaborative document editing system that integrates functionalities from document management systems, workflow, collaborative editing with support for virtual teams can increase team efficiency and allow users to concentrate their efforts on content development. This paper reports a case study implementing this approach in collaboratively creating scientific papers. The use of XML when treating documents proves to be the appropriate solution to develop user and document centered systems.
