Abstract

Described herein is a computer implemented method for generating a hierarchical edit script describing operations which can be applied to a first dataset to generate a second dataset. The method comprises: generating a first linear sequence representing the first dataset and a second linear sequence representing the second dataset; processing the first linear sequence and the second linear sequence using a difference algorithm to generate a linear edit script; processing the linear edit script with reference to the first dataset to generate a first delta; processing the second linear edit script with reference to the second dataset to generate a second delta; and processing the first and second deltas to generate a hierarchical edit script.
