Abstract
SnapCM is an abstract model for a Configuration Management and Version Control system which supports both time-based management of versioned resources and version-aware references. The management of versioned resources and versioned references can be very simple, or scale to arbitrary complexity by predefined extension points. SnapCM provides the necessary support for systems that manage the lifecycle of linked resources. Examples include hyper-document lifecycle management, parts database, workflow and literate programming systems. SnapCM describes the individual Versions of a set of Resources over time. Version-to-Version associations must be handled by versioning-aware References objects that can resolve (via extensible policy) the correct target Version. Versions that exist at the same time and are used in the same context are effective together this is referred to as a Snapshot of those Versions. A consecutive sequence of Snapshots forms a Branch. A Branch also represents the context for effective Versions, allowing multiple Versions (of the same Resource) to be effective at the same time in parallel Branches. Finally, a Sync exposes Versions (effective and historical) from one Snapshot (and contextual Branch) to
