本文介绍了一种新颖的通用框架，它实现了多用户之间协作任务的共享。与协作环境中使用的大多数现有软件不同，在此框架下开发的软件为每个用户提供了他们自己的任务的相同但独立的副本，默认情况下，只有他们自己可以操作。这有别于传统的话轮轮换和双重控制的协作互动方式，其目的是减少一个用户对其他用户的支配，并为有效协作提供空间。特别强调一致和不一致的直观表述，因为这有可能建设性地调解合作争端的解决，特别是在任务期间的不同点需要达成一致的情况下。
在该框架下，还可以模仿传统的协作交互方式，更重要的是，在它们之间动态变化，从而操纵用户界面的协作负担。这可能会搭建用户之间关于他们如何合作完成任务的对话；用户将就他们自己的协作过程进行协作。因此，该框架不仅具有支撑协作的巨大潜力，而且具有支撑元协作的巨大潜力。
This paper introduces a novel and general framework which operationalises the sharing of collaborative tasks between multiple users. In contrast to the majority of existing software used in a collaborative context, software developed under this framework provides each user with their own identical yet independent copy of the task which, by default, only they themselves can manipulate. This represents a departure from traditional turn-taking and dual control collaborative interaction styles and is intended to reduce the domination of one user over others as well as to provide the space for effective collaboration. The visual representation of agreement and disagreement is particularly emphasised since this has the potential to constructively mediate the resolution of collaborative disputes, especially if agreement is required at various points during the task.
Under the framework, it is also possible to emulate traditional collaborative interaction styles and, more importantly, dynamically vary between them, thus manipulating the collaborative affordances of the user interface. This is likely to scaffold conversation between the users about how they are working together to complete the task; users would be collaborating about their own collaborative process. The framework therefore holds significant potential to scaffold not only collaboration but also meta-collaboration.
