Abstract
Described is a method for synchronizing interdependent artifacts that are each modified independent of a modification to the other artifact after a last synchronization. Each artifact has a plurality of elements and is of a different formant from the other artifact. The method includes generating a temporary artifact having all the elements of a last synchronized version of the first artifact and having all the elements of a latest version of the second artifact transformed as the first artifact. The temporary artifact is merged with a latest version of the first artifact to create a synchronized version of the first artifact. A synchronized version of the second artifact having all the elements of the latest version of the second artifact and having all the elements of the synchronized version of the first artifact transformed as the second artifact is generated.
