Abstract

FreeSoDA is a distributed document management system written in C# under .NET. FreeSoDA offers Web services for storing and extracting any kind of document (such as source files, plain text files, PDF files, UML diagrams, or JPEG files) to and from a central database over the Internet. Users can link related documents with each other in the database. To allow distributed simultaneous changes to the document database, FreeSoDA implements sessions with authentication and encryption on top of the stateless SOAP protocol. In addition, FreeSoDA implements an event-notification scheme which makes changes to the database immediately visible to other users.
