I believe Workspace Manager was developed in the New England Development Center by a bunch of RDB refugees. My recollection is that the original name of the project was Long Transaction, which is what I assume LT stood for. As a side note, my understanding is that it was originally envisioned as an adjunct to interMedia Spatial to support long transactions there and was then made a general-purpose tool later in its lifecycle.
