Intermezzo is a set of libraries, servers, and conventions which developers can use to construct collaborative applications. Intermezzo does not attempt to provide support for all aspects of collaborative software development. Facilitating data is data which is used by applications and the collaboration support environment itself to facilitate the process of collaboration. An example of facilitating data is information about which users are currently active in collaborations. Facilitating data is distinct from artifacts .
Artifacts are the actual data of discourse or concern of the collaborative process.
As an example, the text document which is edited by a shared word processor is an artifact. Intermezzo does not provide facilities to support the sharing and use of artifacts. Visit our FAQ and Feedback Pages.
