Thisevaluation provides an overview of collaborative and functional services provided by suchplatforms using thirty one feature based criteria as the basis for comparison. The studyalso presents a taxonomy based on collaborative applications. This evaluation alsoencompasses existing groupware platforms and the crowd-sourcing paradigm, in whichgroups of people participate to form collaborative communities that are verticallyfocused. The selected platforms vary in terms of functionality and content managementapproaches.The main objective of this study is to find an efficient Crowdsourcing platform, which willmeet LOC's requirements and will best resolve the challenges currently faced byacademia and industry with respect to deployment and promotion of such platforms. Oneimportant aspect of this evaluation is the findings on Application Programming Interfaces(APIs). Using these APIs one can invoke the feature of these platforms that allows thecomposition of features in novel and efficient ways when developing clients and front-ends. Another finding is the Business Process Management and Workflows managementcapabilities of these collaborative infrastructures.Abstract: History:Tutos http://www.tutos.orgKablink http://www.kablink.orgMindtouch http://www.mindtouch.comRedmine http://www.redmine.orgPhpbb http://www.phpbb.comProjectpier http://www.projectpier.orgMindquarry http://www.mindquarry.comAlfresco http://www.alfresco.comNuxeo http://www.nuxeo.comOpen GOO http://www.opengoo.org/index.htmlGlobalSight http://www.globalsight.comPlatforms Evaluated:Findings:Taxonomy:
