Meta-Model of Versions in Object-Relational Database to Support Software Engineering Management Environment

An efficient and qualitative work using environments to software engineering management depend of structure, control and adequate use of the resources available to design and development. Between this resources is the versions manipulation of (sub)projects and component created in the engineering phases. Currently, the majority of the software engineering environments supports the versions manipulations, however, imposing austere (inflexible) restrictions, creating, some times, a boundary limiting the work actions (tasks). This work resolve this problem with the definition of metadata structure to object-relational (or only relational) database, incorporating portability, integrity, traceability and flexibility features in the control and maintenance of the software versions design. Thus, design manager can configure an engineering environment with customized control and versions maintenance.
