Negotiability: a metafunction to tailor access to data in groupware. Wulf, V. Behaviour & Information Technology, 14(3):143–151, 1995.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Functions which control access to data in groupware should be designed flexibly by offering different options to end users. However, conflicts might arise among different end users in the process of selecting one of these options. To support users in finding a consensual solution for these conflicts, we propose a metafunction called 'negotiability'. We propose to define and explore the concept of 'negotiability', and discuss its application to access control, concurrency control, and consistency control. We assume that negotiability can play an important role in tailoring these mechanisms and supporting a co-operative use of system's flexibility.
