Abstract
A collaborative system includes information about an organization. The organization can be a group of users or a collection of groups. Each user in the organization has access to at least one workspace, a graphical portal to the organization'"'"'s information. Each workspace displays at least a subset of the information. A relation is defined for selected pairs of workspaces based on workspace type, user access controls, personal preferences, or any number of other factors. The relation enables navigation from one workspace to another workspace in the pair, automatic document transfer from one workspace to another, analysis and reporting on the organization, and other collaborative functions.
