From: "Bruno C. Muniz" <muniz@inf.puc-rio.br> Suppose I have two unrelated resources A and B, version graphs VA and VB, where A belongs to VA and B belongs to VB. Now, if I derive a version C from A and B, what happens ? C is inserted in both VA and VB and a new version graph VC containing C is created ? Since a resource can be in multiple version graphs, does exist a kind of a default version graph for a given resource ? Good question. Although allowing a revision to be in multiple versioned resources is an explicit "nongoal" in the current WebDAV "Versioning Goals" document (nongoal #1, in fact), this doesn't fully address your question. We should add a statement that "the predecessors and sucessors of any revision of a versioned resource must also be revisions of that versioned resource". This is implicit in the current draft of the proposed protocol (where the predecessors and successors are specified in terms of revision-id's instead of URI's), but it would be clearer if it were explicit in the "goals" document. Cheers, Geoff
