Abstract

See full text

Reconciliation of corresponding groupings of data for processing by application programs ('sections') which are contained within files ('documents') is performed using history lists. In particular, a section in one document which corresponds to a section in another document is reconciled. Each section has a history list which identifies versions of that section. The reconciliation is performed by using the history lists to compare versions of corresponding sections in order to determine which section has been modified. When one of the corresponding sections has been modified and the other has not been modified, the unmodified section is modified with the other section. When both sections have been modified, then the user is provided with options for reconciling the sections. In addition, when one document has a new section which is not in the other document, the new section is added to the other document.
