A Collaboratory is a 'center without walls' in which the nation's
researchers can perform their research without regard to
geographical location -
interacting with colleagues, accessing instrumentation, sharing data and computational resources,
and accessing information in digital libraries." - Bill Wulf (1989)
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.
