Such environments are characterized by the need to support different types of interaction between integrity maintenance and version maintenance mechanisms. The paper describes these problems, and proposes a framework in which they can be treated homogeneously. We thus bridge the gap existing between research on constraint maintenance and on version control, which has so far posed several problems to researchers in these two areas. } }
