Abstract

This invention discloses a novel system and method for determining the genealogy of versions of a document by inspection of content extracted from the document. In one embodiment, the invention extracts a set of revision identifier values from each version of a document and then applies logical rules to the extracted set of revision identifier values to determine which versions of the document are ancestors of the other versions.
