M1 - M3 Web-based interaction models

Current Definition

The M1 - M3 web-based interaction model provides us with a framework for discussing ways that information can be created, delivered and manipulated on the web.

As defined in the "Making the World Wide Web A Medium for Collaborative, Evolutionary Design" paper available at http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~ostwald/papers/WWW97/PAPER200.html, "M1 mode users enlist web masters to help create HTML documents that broadcast information over the web. In M2, web users and web masters create more sophisticated HTML documents that allow for indirect feedback (via email or on-line forms), but the feedback does not alter the content of the document. In M3 web users have the ability to directly alter and extend the content of web-based documents."

A diagram illustrating each mode of interaction is available at: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~ostwald/papers/WWW97/models.gif
