A cooperative (also co-operative or co-op) is an association of persons who join together to carry on an economic activity of mutual benefit. The term may be used loosely to signify its members' ideology (as in 'jazz coop') but a mainstream cooperative comprises a legal entity owned and democratically controlled by its members, with no passive shareholders, unless they hold non-voting shares. It thus combines the equal control characteristic of many partnerships with the legal personality conferred on corporations ...

Robert Owen (1771–1858) fathered the cooperative movement. A Welshman who made his fortune in the cotton trade, Owen believed in putting his workers in a good environment with access to education for themselves and their children. These ideas were put into effect successfully in the cotton mills of New Lanark, Scotland. It was here that the first co-operative store was opened. Spurred on by the success of this, he had the idea of forming "villages of co-operation" where workers would drag themselves out of poverty by growing their own food ...

Traditionally, a cooper is someone who makes wooden barrels, casks, buckets and other similar wooden objects. The word is derived from cupa, the Latin word for vat. Cask making is referred to as cooperage. A barrel is technically a measure of the size of a cask, so the term "barrel-maker" cannot be used synonymously with "cooper" as it is incorrect. In addition, the facility in which casks are made is referred to as a cooperage. Sometimes—in more modern times—the profession of the cooper is specific to wineries, where the cooper would ...

Cooper's ligaments are the connective tissue in the breast that holds them up. As any ligament, over time, they may lose strength and tension in the elderly—especially so in females.

The term computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) was first coined by Irene Greif and Cashman in 1984, at a workshop attended by individuals interested in using technology to support people in their work (Grudin 1994). According to Carstensen and Schmidt (2002), CSCW addresses "how collaborative activities and their coordination can be supported by means of computer systems." On the one hand, many authors consider that CSCW and groupware are synonyms. Ellis (1993) defines groupware as "computer-based systems that support groups of p ...
