CREATING SEARCHABLE REVISIONS OF A RESOURCE IN A REPOSITORY

摘要

A method of creating searchable revisions of a resource for a resource repository is disclosed where a first revision of a resource is generated in the resource repository. The first revision of the resource can be approved, but the first revision of the resource is not accessible to a consumer searching the resource repository until the first revision of the resource is approved. A second revision of the resource subsequent to the first revision of the resource is generated, but the second revision of the resource is not accessible to a consumer searching the resource repository until the second revision of the resource is approved. A searchable artifact in the resource repository is also generated for each revision of the resource in the resource repository. The searchable artifact for the first revision of the resource includes for an approval field that indicates the first revision of the resource is valid from when the first revision of the resource is approved to when the second revision of the resource is approved.
