Object lens: a “spreadsheet” for cooperative work
Kum‐Yew Lai, Thomas W. Malone · 1988
Object Lens allows unsophisticated computer users to create their own cooperative work applications using a set of simple, but powerful, building blocks. By defining and modifying templates for various semistructured objects, users represent many different kinds of information. By creating semiautonomous agents, users specify rules for automatically processing this information in different situations.
