Collaborative workspaces are becoming increasingly commonplace, particularly in large, distributed organizations where virtual teams formed in order to jointly carry out collaborative project work. Typical collaborative workspaces often have a large number of objects and relations as well as their associated domain-specific attributes. The visualization of these domain-specific attributes is the challenge of this research. This paper presents a new approach for visualizing the attributes of objects and relations in collaborative workspaces. This new visualization provides not only a structural view of the collaborative workspaces but also a graphical view of a variety of domain-specific attributes associated with collaborative objects and relations. This paper also describes a framework for the attributed visualization of collaborative workspaces.
