Software documents consist of a number of logical objects and relationships between them, and a lot of versions are generated during software development. When an object is changed, it is desirable to easily identify the change and the range of change propagation for efficient software development and maintenance. However, it is difficult to identify it in a coarse-grained object management model. To solve this problem, fine-grained object management is required. In this paper, I propose a consistency management model for fine-grained software objects based on operation history applied to edit software objects. This paper presents a formal model for consistency management at the fine-grained level. Consistency between documents is managed using dependency between objects and kinds of the operations applied to the objects so that unnecessary change propagation can be avoided.

Software documents consists of a number of objects and relationships between them, and structure of documents can be changed frequently. In this paper, we propose a version storage and consistency management model for fine-grained software objects based on operations applied to edit software objects. An object has an interface and can be updated only through operations defined in its interface. Operations applied to objects are recorded in the operation history, which is used to retrieve versions of a document and manage consistency between documents. Because versions of an object are stored and retrieved using the operation delta, it is not needed to compare versions of a document to extract delta and it is easy to identify the changes between versions in order to propagate the changes. Consistencies between documents are managed using dependencies between objects and kinds of the operations applied to the objects. Therefore unnecessary version propagation can be avoided. This paper presents a formal model of version retrieval and consistency management at the fine-grained level based on operations applied to the objects.

Software documents consist of a number of objects and relationships between them, and structure of documents can be changed frequently. In the existing software version management models, changes in one object may be propagated to other objects unnecessarily. In this paper, we propose an efficient version management model for software objects based on history of operations applied to software objects. Operations applied to objects are recorded in the operation history, and those are used to retrieve versions of a document. Because versions of objects are stored and retrieved using the operation delta, it is not required to compare versions of a document to extract delta during check-in process. In addition, it can manage changes of structure of objects efficiently because it supports not only object creation, deletion, and update operation but also object move operation.
