Workspace
The most common element of
a SharePoint collaborative environment is the workspace. While a workspace is a site,
CorasWorks defines a workspace as a site where a specific team of people come to
work together and share information. Thus, it is the core collaborative element.
It is also the primary place where information is stored for most
collaborative applications.
In summary:
-
A workspace is a site
-
It is a site where a team of people work together – to add, update, change, and delete data as work gets done
-
It can serve a specific function and have specific business processes
-
It stores the information in lists and libraries, accessed through the workspace
This detailed definition is
important to separate the purpose of the workspace from other interface elements
such as Portals, Dashboards, and Personas. The key difference is
that the workspace is overwhelmingly the container of information, whereas it is
possible to have a Portal, Dashboard, or Persona that contains no information,
but merely serves as an interface to many distributed workspaces.
In a CorasWorks context,
workspaces usually include navigation structure, information views,
data-connectivity components, business processes, and email notification, among
other features.
