Multiversion support for XML documents is needed in many critical applications, such as software configuration control, cooperative authoring, web information warehouses, and ”e-permanence” of web documents. In this paper, we introduce efficient and robust techniques for: (i) storing and retrieving; (ii) viewing and exchanging; and (iii) querying multiversion XML documents. We first discuss the limitations of traditional version control methods, such as RCS and SCCS, and then propose novel techniques that overcome their limitations.
