Abstract

In distributed collaborative document authoring environments, the preservation of a globally consistent data state is an important factor. However, synchronization conflicts are unavoidable and constitute a serious challenge. Our advanced compound document system provides the basis for a novel consistency management approach, in particular regarding autonomous conflict detection and resolution. Current techniques to achieve and maintain global consistency in distributed environments almost exclusively utilize file-based data structures, thereby limiting the accessibility to supplementary information.

Keywords: Compound document systems Document engineering Distributed authoring Collaboration Consistency management Conflict detection and resolution Intention preservation
