Time-Based Versioning - Conceptual Overview [Initial Draft]

This paper seeks to provide an overview of the Time-based Versioning concept in the context of supporting OASIS CTI TC discourse and exploration of options to meet community requirements.

Time-based Versioning provides a universal scheme that satisfies the following stated community objectives/requirements for versioning:

 

(1)  
I only need/want the latest version of
 the model.

(2)  
I need to establish the state of the model
 (1) at a given point or (2) over a range in time.

(3)  
I need to request a copy of the model and
 all of its states (1) at a given point or (2) over a range in time.

 

Time-based versioning separates Structure from State which allows versioning of Structure independently of its State.

[Note: This version of the paper is being published in it''s initial draft form given
 comments to the list today indicating a possible cut-off of discourse on Versioning]
