Abstract
An information management system for managing the concurrent performance of multiple works-in-progress while providing atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability among transactions involved in the works-in-progress. The information management system includes a database for persistently storing a set of data objects and a set of data changes targeted for the data objects. The information management system includes a library that provides a set of methods that enable an activity to persistently store the data changes in the database while maintaining a work-in-progress such that the data changes are concealed from a global view of the database until the work-in-progress is complete.
