As a Grain of Link: How Far Should We Take Link Granularity
Individuals can leverage data referencing in collective scenarios, akin to deixis, a common human interaction in which they can physically point to relevant information. While deixis is easily performed in online synchronous interactions, e.g., mouse pointing during screen sharing in video conferences, reproducing it in asynchronous online interactions is not trivial. A significant step towards finer mimicking in-person co-presence is enhancing the granularity of links to data, enabling users to reference specific pieces of data in their content. This paper reviews 43 digital platforms in 8 sub-categories, organized in 3 main categories, and proposes requirements, opportunities, and challenges of link granularity for asynchronous online interactions.

summary
Individuals can leverage data referencing in collective scenarios, akin to deixis, a common human interaction in which they can physically point to relevant information. While deixis is easily performed in online synchronous interactions, e.g., mouse pointing during screen sharing in video conferences, reproducing it in asynchronous online interactions is not trivial. A significant step towards finer mimicking in-person co-presence is enhancing the granularity of links to data, enabling users to reference specific pieces of data in their content. This paper reviews 43 digital platforms in 8 sub-categories, organized in 3 main categories, and proposes requirements, opportunities, and challenges of link granularity for asynchronous online interactions.
