Abstract
Computer method and apparatus managing engineering product revisions. A repository holds one or more assets. For each asset, the repository holds respective revisions of the asset. A revision manager tracks changes of state of assets of the repository. Each change of state of a given asset results in a respective revision of the given asset. The revision manager provides a repository per asset timeline view illustrating for a subject asset (i) a timeline sequence of changes of state of the subject asset and (ii) contents of the subject asset. The timeline sequence represents the revision history of the asset. Each of the graphical elements in the timeline sequence implements a handle to the respective revision or state of the subject asset as held in the repository. The invention repository view with timeline sequence enhances users ability to navigate among assets and revisions in the repository.
