Why is it important?
It provides a listing of some of the different efforts around developing similar software that are now part of larger efforts, so it provides useful historical information and context. It also provides the pros and cons for cloud based applications.
Perspectives
Writing a book chapter allows more flexibility than other formats hence the heavy focus on one technology for chemistry and biology collaboration. It also captures the moment at which more companies were starting to change their business model to use more collaboration and crowdsourcing.
