10. A system of selecting terms for collaboration on a work, the system comprising an electronic processor configured to:
provide an electronic user interface for assisting a first user in submitting over an electronic communication network a request for collaboration on a work, including information about the work;
receive information from the first user over the communication network, through the user interface, the information including a message corresponding to the request for collaboration on the work;
determine a collaboration compatibility level for at least one second user for collaboration with the first user on the work;
select one or more values, terms, conditions or other parameters of a clause, contract or contract template, based on the collaboration compatibility level determined for at least one second user; and
present the one or more values, terms, conditions or other parameters of a clause, contract or contract template to the first user;
wherein configuring the processor to select one or more values, terms, conditions or other parameters comprises configuring the processor to:
select a first value, term, condition or parameter upon the compatibility level determined for the first user exceeding a first threshold value, and
select a second value, term, condition or parameter different from the first value, term, condition or parameter, upon the compatibility level determined for the first user exceeding a second threshold value, the second threshold value being different than the first threshold value.
11. A system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the electronic processor is configured to select a compensation amount dependent, at least in part, on the collaboration compatibility level determined for at least one second user.
12. A system as recited in claim 11 , wherein the electronic processor is configured to generate at least one contract clause, contract term, contract or contract template that includes the selected type of compensation.
13. A system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the electronic processor is configured to select a type of compensation dependent, at least in part, on the collaboration compatibility level determined for at least one second user.
14. A system as recited in claim 13 , wherein the electronic processor is configured to generate at least one contract clause, contract term, contract or contract template that includes the selected type of compensation.
15. A system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the electronic processor is configured to generate at least one contract clause, contract term, contract or contract template that includes the selected one or more values, terms, conditions or other parameters of a clause, contract or contract template.
16. A system as recited in claim 10 , wherein each of the one or more values, terms, conditions or other parameters of a clause, contract or contract template is associated with one or more collaboration compatibility levels, and wherein the electronic processor is configured to select one or more values, terms, conditions or other parameters of a clause, contract or contract template that is associated with the determined collaboration compatibility level for the at least one second user.
17. A system as recited in claim 10 , wherein each of the one or more values, terms, conditions or other parameters of a clause, contract or contract template is associated with one or more collaboration compatibility level thresholds, and wherein the electronic processor is configured to select one or more values, terms, conditions or other parameters of a clause, contract or contract template that is associated with a collaboration compatibility level threshold that is met or exceeded by the collaboration compatibility level determined for the at least one second user.
