Virtual Labs Overview
`Electronic workspace for distance collaboration and experimentation in research
or other creative activity, to generate and deliver results using distributed information
and communication technologies'
More general definition than Collaboratories
(or, `center without walls'):
to interact with colleagues, access instrumentation, share data and computational resources,
and access information in digital libraries." - Bill Wulf (1989)

Another View:
The Borromean Rings are three symmetric loops. The rings cannot be
pulled apart, no two rings are interlinked - removing (breaking) one allows
the other two to slide apart.
- Similar to the nature of collaborative work - create something more than
the simple sum of individual efforts.
