Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for managing information is disclosed. The information is stored in a database accessible to a plurality of users. A part of the information is isolated from the database. A user can modify the isolated part of the information. The modified information is compared with the isolated information and a set of changes is extracted from the comparison. The set of changes are appended to the information in the database. Each part of the information in the database has a version associated with it. When changes to a part of the information are appended, the modified part is versioned in an incremental fashion. Prior versions of a part of the information can be accessed and modified by the users.
