论文摘要
协作编辑（CE）变得越来越普遍，在学术界和行业中通常是强制性的，在学术界和行业中，人们在团队中工作并在时间和时间之间分发。我们旨在根据用户所采用的协作模式和冲突的特征来研究协作编辑行为，即来自文档中时间和位置的不同用户的编辑。 CE的过程可以分为几个编辑“会话”，这些编辑是由单个作者（“单人作者介绍的会话”）或几位作者（“共同撰写的会话”）执行的。这种分裂过程需要在会话之间预定的“最大时间差距”，这在先前的研究中尚未定义。在这项研究中，我们分析了108个协作编辑文档的CE日志。我们通过评估两个相邻会话之间的时间距离的分布来展示如何建立合适的“最大时间差距”将CE活动分为会话。我们研究了每个“共同作者会话”中的编辑活动，以便在文档中发生时间和位置维度上定义潜在的冲突。我们还分析了其中有多少这些潜在冲突成为真正的冲突。调查结果表明，潜在的冲突案件很少。但是，它们更有可能成为真正的冲突。
Collaborative editing (CE) became increasingly common, often compulsory in academia and industry where people work in teams and are distributed across space and time. We aim to study collabora-tive editing behavior in terms of collaboration patterns users adopt and in terms of a characterisation of conflicts, i.e. edits from different users that occur close in time and position in the document. The process of a CE can be split into several editing 'sessions' which are performed by a single author ('single-authored session') or several authors ('co-authored session'). This fragmentation process requires a pre-defined 'maximum time gap' between sessions which is not yet well defined in previous studies. In this study, we analysed CE logs of 108 collaboratively edited documents. We show how to establish a suitable 'maximum time gap' to split CE activities into sessions by evaluating the distribution of the time distance between two adjacent sessions. We studied editing activities inside each 'co-author session' in order to define potential conflicts in terms of time and position dimensions before they occur in the document. We also analysed how many of these potential conflicts become real conflicts. Findings show that potential conflicting cases are few. However, they are more likely to become real conflicts.
