<p>The present invention relates to versioning of electronic data in software management systems (100). The software management system (100) includes a development environment (102) and an object repository (104). The development environment (102) provides access to one or more logical objects arranged in a hierarchical model, each logical objects being characterized by a corresponding object type. The object repository (104) is configured for storing one or more archive files corresponding to at least one of the logical objects. According to the techniques of the present invention, initially, a policy master tool (112, 200, 506) is configured. The policy master tool (112, 200, 506) includes a plurality of versioning policies. Subsequently, a policy mapping tool (114, 400, 508) is configured, wherein each object type is associated to a unique versioning policy. Finally, transformation between the logical objects in the development environment (102) and the corresponding archive files in the object repository (104) is managed based on the versioning policy associated therewith.</p> |
