Abstract

Each time a document or a program source is edited, version information including its version name and creation date is stored in a storage. Configuration information of a plurality of documents and program sources is stored in another storage. The version and configuration information is read from the storages such that information of constituent elements of a project such as documents and program sources is placed in a vertical direction and version information of the elements is placed by use of a creation date as a reference in a horizontal direction for a two-dimensional display thereof. With the configuration, there is provided a display method of clearly presenting to the user a display image in which version information is combined with configuration information.
