Hello. I am using programming java based system that needs to be able to keep track of changes to any given content. Similar to the way a Visual SourceSafe or a CVS, but only for content. In order to do this I have to
- Make the information temporal ( Add Start and End Dates to the Content in the database)
- Append the user who changed the content in a modifided history table.
- Be able to compare two version of the content and automatically pinpoint it's differences.
I am not sure if I am taking the correct approach. Number 1 will
require many copies of information that is similar. Number 2 is no problem.
But Number 3 seems like it will be a lot of work!!!!
Any Suggestions. Any API's or Software packages that could do this?
