Version Modeling Concepts for Computer-Aided Design Databases

Summary: Presents a semantic OO data model to capture CAD design evolution within a versioned, time-varying database. Defines version histories, time-varying configurations, and cross-type equivalences, with mechanisms for identifying current versions, dynamic configuration binding, and equivalence verification, implemented in a Version Server.
