Abstract
This invention discloses a novel system and method for determining the geneology of versions of a document by inspection of content extracted from the document. In one embodiment that is compatible with Microsoft™ Word ™, the invention extracts the RSID values from each version of a document and then applies logical rules to the extracted set of RSID values to determine which versions are ancestors of the other versions.
