Abstract
Today, most of us are members of multiple online communities, in the context of which we engage in a multitude of personal and professional activities. These communities are supported by different web-based platforms and enable different types of collaborative interactions. Through our experience with the development of and experimentation with three different such platforms in support of collaborative communities, we recognized a few core research problems relevant across all such tools, and we developed SociQL, a language, and a corresponding software framework, to study them.
