| Abstract: |
The Internet/World Wide Web has grown very rapidly to become a major resource supporting collaborative activities in a wide range of groups, disciplines, and communities. However, the growth of the net/web creates problems of information overload and of maintaining awareness of activities at other sites relevant to one's own tasks. This article discusses awareness issues in collaborative group; develops a conceptual framework for studying and supporting awareness on the web; describes CHRONO, a tool for supporting awareness of changes at another site. Finally a preliminary sketch of an overall conceptual framework for the Internet is presented and explored. This CyberOrganism framework is used to analyze and classify chronological awareness support systems and general communication systems that support awareness maintenance on the Internet. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
