ABSTRACT:
A method, an apparatus, and a system for managing data using state transition controlled attributes have been presented. For example, a workflow management policy and a set of states are defined at a server coupled to one or more client machines, each of the states corresponding to a distinct value of a set of values of an attribute of data. The method may further include implementing a state machine on the server to manage state transitions initiated by the one or more client machines operating on the data according to the workflow management policy.
