Abstract :
The IAF Methods Database has 455 as of 29 August reported techniques used by facilitators divided into 3 levels: Applications, Methods and Models, and Interventions. Methods and Models are the same level of abstraction as ThinkLets. We use the ThinkLet pattern language to define requirements for a redesign of the database. We also discuss the implications for collaboration engineering and examine requirements for other levels of abstraction at the intervention and application level.
