<p>A network-based collaboration system and method can be used to create, modify or otherwise manipulate a design using heterogeneous applications (30, 32, 34, 36) on clients (14) connected to a network (16). The system and method enables design collaboration between the heterogeneous applications (30, 32, 34, 36) each having a different design abstraction and a different local data model by exchanging application states normalized at a design abstraction level recognized by each of the heterogeneous applications (30, 32, 34, 36).</p> |
