论文摘要
在许多实例中,关于在线合作,构想和审议的书面内容与审议的合成分开发生的内容分开。但是,这可能会导致最终文档与之前的讨论几乎没有联系。在这项工作中,我们提出了交错的讨论和摘要,在一个空间中将讨论和摘要一起编织在一起的过程,合作者可以在讨论思想和汇总讨论之间来回切换,直到它导致最终文档结合并参考所有讨论点。我们将此过程实施到一个名为Wikum+的工具中,该工具允许小组共同努力在项目上共同创建生活摘要 - 艺术,随着新的合作者,想法和反馈的出现,随着合作者的共识而出现并收缩。我们进行了研究,其中六人组成的小组共同编写了一项建议使用Wikum+的建议,并与Google Docs一起使用消息传递平台提案。我们发现,Wikum+的讨论和摘要整合使用户更有条理,从而在整个协作过程中进行了轻巧的协调和迭代改进。第二项研究表明,与传统工具相比,在较大的群体中,维库姆+更包括所有参与者,在最终文档中更全面。
In many instances of online collaboration, ideation and deliberation about what to write happen separately from the synthesis of the deliberation into a cohesive document. However, this may result in a final document that has little connection to the discussion that came before. In this work, we present interleaved discussion and summarization, a process where discussion and summarization are woven together in a single space, and collaborators can switch back and forth between discussing ideas and summarizing discussion until it results in a final document that incorporates and references all discussion points. We implement this process into a tool called Wikum+ that allows groups working together on a project to create living summaries-artifacts that can grow as new collaborators, ideas, and feedback arise and shrink as collaborators come to consensus. We conducted studies where groups of six people each collaboratively wrote a proposal using Wikum+ and a proposal using a messaging platform along with Google Docs. We found that Wikum+'s integration of discussion and summarization helped users be more organized, allowing for light-weight coordination and iterative improvements throughout the collaboration process. A second study demonstrated that in larger groups, Wikum+ is more inclusive of all participants and more comprehensive in the final document compared to traditional tools.
