Abstract :
The emerging research area of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) has yielded a number of groupware applications in recent years. The application and installation of these systems in large organization or for the support of inter-organizational cooperation requires information about the organizational environment in which they are used. The TOSCA system which is described aims to provide that kind of information to users and applications. The author describes the object-oriented data model, the design of the multimedia user interface, the integration with other applications and the architecture of TOSCA.<>
