Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods including retrieving a model including a plurality of objects and references between objects, receiving first user input indicating a set of first changes to the model, applying changes of the set of first changes to the model to provide a first modified model, receiving second user input indicating a set of second changes to the model, identifying a conflicting operation in the set of first changes to the set of second changes, applying one or more inverse operations to the first modified model to provide a second modified model, removing the conflicting operation from the set of first changes, defining a subset of first changes including the one or more changes after the conflicting operation, reconciling one or more changes to provide a reconciled subset of first changes, and defining an updated model.
