Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to maintain multiple versions of structured views of data in a computer system. A relational database management system (RDBMS) is executed that stores master data in the computer system in master RDBMS tables. The master data is hierarchical in nature and hierarchy metadata for the master data is stored in the RDBMS tables. As part of a process and framework, a series of business rules and process workflows are maintained to manage the master data. Version tables are created in the RDBMS that correspond to each of the master RDBMS tables. Each of the version tables includes an attribute denoting version information. Versions of the master data are defined by replicating the master data and hierarchy metadata into the corresponding version tables. The version tables are used to graphically visualize, manage, and manipulate the versions of the master data.
