Abstract

WebDAV and DeltaV are application-layer network protocols that provide capabilities for remote collaborative authoring, metadata management, version control, and configuration management. Both protocols extend the core protocol of the Web, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP 1.1). WebDAV adds operations for overwrite prevention, properties, and namespace management, while DeltaV builds upon WebDAV to offer versioning (checkout and checkin), autoversioning, workspaces, activities, and configuration management.
