Abstract

A method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture provide the ability to track the processing of image data in a collaborative environment. A dependency graph that represents an image composition is obtained. Metadata for each element of the dependency graph are stored in a database that is accessible across a network to multiple users. Access to the database is controlled to allow the multiple users to access the dependency graph via the database simultaneously.
