Abstract

This paper describes a distributed versioning model, DVM, suitable for the OMG Meta Object Facilities (MOF). We show that the commonly used versioning model, such as CVS, is not sufficient for MOF (and nor is the one proposed in the response [17] to OMG RFP for MOF 2.0 versioning) and propose a solution based on location identifications and sequence numbers together with the rules for creating successor and branch versions. Based on a proof-of-the-concept implementation of DVM and its application to repositories in our SOFA component model, we convey to the reader our positive experience with DVM.
