Collaboration and Hypermedia: The Use of Formal and
Informal Structures in Supporting Group Coordination
----------------------------------------------------

The DOLPHIN system supports the collaborative creation of hyperdocuments 
using both formal structures (typed nodes and links), as well as informal 
structures (free hand drawings and scribbles). Informal thoughts and 
interactions in a group play an important role in the group process. 
They can serve to help the group structure its thinking as well as 
provide the group with a means to record its process. The role of 
both types of structures in a group collaboration for a hypermedia 
document will be discussed, focusing on the impact they have on the 
group's coordination. The type of strategy that a group adopts, in 
conjunction with the use of the system features will also be discussed.
