Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Versioning
Hi
I have a question about versioning of DocBook
documents.
Some Background Info:
I have a master copy of government legislation
(called an Act) in DocBook format. Now the guvment makes amendments to the
Act (An amendment is a textual change to the original Act -
could be Addition, Removal or Modification of text). What
I am required to do is supply a consolidated act (i.e The Original Act + all
amendments) and also supply a means by which users can see the Act at a point in
time.
For Example:
Original Act published
27-Oct-2001
Amendment 01 published
12-Dec-2001
Amendment 02 published
15-July-2002
Amendment 03 published
4-Dec-2002
Users want to see the Act
(1) Original Form
(2) Original Form + Amendment
01
(3) Original Form + Amendment
02
(3) Original Form + Amendment
03
(4) Original Form + Amendment 04
= Fully Consolidated Act It appears to be a similar problem to that of
software version management.
Questions:
Does DocBook have any facility to manage this type
of versioning?
Does anyone know of any tools that can be
integrated into a current browser based application to solve this
problem?
Does anyone have any idea of the best way to solve
this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help given in this
matter.
Regards
Mark Brand
