in [WEBDAV98]@@ Versioning in [WebDesign90] in Lincks in CVS

There are two types of Internet Explorer versioning: Each Internet Explorer package will be assigned a version number, and versioning can be enforced so that older packages are not allowed to overwrite newer versions of the same package. Individual components in Internet Explorer are also versioned, and configured not to download or install if a compatible version of the component already exists on the client machine.

In configuration management, the process of assigning each release of a document or piece of software a version number. Automated systems, such as UNIX's Source Code Configuration System, allow a developer to check a module out for modification-the system assigns a new version number whenever the developer checks the module back in.

Document and picture versioning creates a backup copy of a file whenever it is saved to the library.

A form of short-run printing, where different versions of a document may go to different geographical areas or people with different income levels. Versioning can be done on a press that does not have VDP capability, because hundreds or thousands of identical sheets are printed for each “version” of the job.

keeping a recording of each of a succession of versions, or revision levels, of a file or document

The storage and management of previous versions of a piece of information, for security, diagnostics, and interest. This is important when many users are allowed to edit the same material. (More...)

is the archiving of older versions of pages and objects in the archive. When saving the changes of a page the previous version will automatically be archived as “the old version”. If an object is replaced by a new object version, the old versions of the object are automatically archived, so that only the current version is directly available.

Versioning is a mechanism that keeps track of all changes in content and code and allows any change to be 'rolled back' to any previous version. This also means that a deleted file can be recovered to its last saved state.

The inevitable tendency for an object to evolve over time and gain new functionality.

See dynamic reloading.

The ability for a single definition to maintain information about multiple physical instantiations.
