System and method for managing collaborative data representations

摘要

A collaborative platform may provide for mutability regarding the type characteristic (server or client) of a representation of a collaborative resource within the collaborative platform. A collaborative resource may be hosted by one participant's collaborative platform (as a server data representation) and reflected in each other participant collaborative platform (as a client data representation). Mutability allows the collaborative resource to be dynamically re-hosted from one participant to another. Mutability provided by the collaborative platforms allows the server data representation on one system to become a client data representation, and a client data representation on another system to become the server data representation. Mutability may provide for load balancing and/or transparent fail over protection within the collaborative environment.
