• Intent
  • Keep track of the distinct, successive (possibly branching) states that information goes through.

• Motivation
  • Digital information is typically frequently copied and revised. It is often the case that useful information is lost in this process or that the very history of successive versions is itself of interest. Keeping each successive significant revision of a digital artifact supports important goals such as restoration of previous state, discovery of who performed what changes and understanding of the significance of changes. It is particularly useful when there are a large number of people involved with the data in question and also when there are a large number of digital objects under management.
