Abstract
A method and system for tracking authorship of content in data is described, wherein the method and system may be employed in collaborative text editing systems or in word processing applications to identify and track the contributions of individual authors. The method comprises aligning at least a portion of data from old or reference data with at least a portion of the data from new or target data, repeating the acts of aligning at least a portion of the data, storing any aligned data until no significant alignment of the data is obtained, and storing any unaligned data and authorship information.
