Multi-user-generated content version control method and implementation method

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-user-generated content version control method and implementation method. The multi-user-generated content version control method and implementation method are characterized in that a special tree structure is adopted for segmenting generated content into various structural units; about the structural units, apart from the top-down tree structure relation, relation of all parts can also be singly set; by recording processes of various operations performed on the structural units and the tree structure, a version repository is formed; users can perform interaction with the remote version repository by using various clients, a version repository also can be formed locally, and multi-user-generated content version record and control are realized. Compared with the existing version control method, the multi-user-generated content version control method and implementation method have the characteristics of being flexible, efficient, highly controllable and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of mathematical algorithms, operation methods and computer software, and in particular relates to a version control method and realization method of content created by multiple users. Background technique [0002] After multi-person co-authoring became a requirement, especially driven by the open source code of software, the following version control systems emerged. The first is a traditional version control system, which is still based on an existing file system, placing files on a document server. The main problem is the issue of authority distribution. When the structure of the document is more complex or there are many structural units of the document or the structure of the document is changing or has changed, the authority distribution of the document owner to the participants is almost impossible. impossible. Second, if the revision version only records revision information, the base version and revision in...

Problems solved by technology

The main problem is the issue of authority distribution. When the structure of the document is more complex or there are many structural units of the document or the structure of the document is changing or has changed, the authority distribution of the document owner to the participants is almost impossible. impossible

Second, if the revised version only records revision information, the base version and revision information need to be merged when the final version is output, which will generate a large amount of additional system overhead

Third, since all operations on the document are recorded in one document, the document cannot be structurally optimized. Therefore, when more participants perform operations such as querying, adding, deleting, and merging, the complexity of the operation varies with the number of participants. When the number of people increases to a certain extent, the overhead of the system will be very large

Since the monitoring of files is still based on the existing file system, on the one hand, it increases the complexity of system management. On the other hand, because changes at the file system level cannot be recorded, once a folder is deleted, modified, etc. outside the version control system Operation, the system will be difficult to deal with modification conflicts, and file operations outside the version control system will bring great hidden dangers

In addition, because the multi-file version control system only relies on the relationship between files established by the file system folders that come with the computer, the relationship between files can only be determined as a simple relationship by folder, and its complexity cannot meet more requirements. The need for complex documents cannot describe complex file relationships

Fourth, because the recorded version information is very small, it cannot meet the needs of system application and expansion, such as splicing and displaying various versions or parts in a real-time manner

The main problem, in addition to the problems caused by the existing file system, is that all the existing basic versions need to be copied to the local before the operation, and it is impossible to establish branches only for the specified parts, resulting in a large footprint, A series of problems such as long synchronization time. At the same time, if there are many branches, the merge problem after synchronization will bring a huge burden to the entire system

[0005] Some version control is not based on the file system, such as Google Docs, but based on a single top-down mode. The structure of the document depends on the format of fonts, colors, etc., which is very simple and does not structure the content, which is not conducive to expansion
