Abstract
A method and system are provided for instantiating objects for participation in information sharing relationships. According to one technique, a copy of an object is made, where the copy includes all changes made prior to a particular point in time, and no changes made after the particular point in time. The copy is used to create a second object. Data that reflects the particular point in time is stored, and subsequently used to determine which changes should be applied to the second object. Data that indicates that the creation time of the second object is stored, and subsequently used to determine which changes should be applied to the original object.
