| Abstract | Version controls of the existing Soflware Configuration Management (S CM) systems employ
different version models without a common foundation — framework for representation and
computation of basic information, which causes the problems of system interchangeability,
interoperability, and integrability. Hence a SCM foundation demands a unified version model
With the aim of developing a practical solution, the representation and computation of the
proposed version model are based on Resource Description Framework (RDF)/RDF Programs
and Equivalent Transformation (ET) computational model, respectively. RDF and RDF
Programs can be employed to represent all version control approaches including State-based
and Change-based versioning as well as Extensional and Intensional approaches and
uniformly expresses evolution of software objects and their relationships. 'llle model is
general and embraces existing models as special cases, whence, besides serving as an internal
representation scheme, it can serve as interchange format for different SCM systems and for
system interoperation and integration. Moreover, since RDF is a core technology for the
Semantic Web, it facilitates linkage to other systems on the Internet. Its use of ET introduces
powerful operations for uniform formulation of all basic SCM operations. The model’s
potential is demonstrated by a simple prototype. |
