ABSTRACT:
A method and system for maintaining revision control of a set of objects within a data processing system, wherein the set of objects are linearly interrelated, such that a subsequent object is related to a preceding object. Each object is created, accessed and maintained within a hierarchial promotion structure having a number of levels. A first database is created, which includes data identifying the linear interrelation between objects within the set of objects. The data includes a revision identifier associated with each set of objects. A status indicator is associated with each object within the hierarchial promotion structure, wherein a user may access the set of objects utilizing a revision identifier or hierarchial promotion structure indicator.
