Abstract
The paper presents a classification of multiuser information systems based upon levels in which information is shared in team collaboration. In this classification, data, knowledge and experience are suggested as information level categories. The concepts underlying the classification are presented through a review of current approaches to information sharing. Work on the ICON system is discussed as an on-going research and development project which implements data sharing in an integrated information system. Advances in computer-supported collaborative information environments through AI methods are presented and reviewed as possibilities for the future development of knowledge sharing and experience sharing in information systems. Case-based reasoning, a subfield in AI emphasizing experiential knowledge, is introduced as a promising approach to computer-supported collaboration in information systems based on experience sharing. A research project in this field is presented as a case study.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
