Abstract

The evolution phenomenon has ever been spanning as various fields as politics, economy, laws, health, education and technology. Indeed, it an incremental process that consists in accommodating unavoidable changes to answer new real-life requirements within respective environments. This can be concretely performed by updating, adding or removing rules, services or simply any business knowledge. In computer science, many research axes have so far emerged to reflect such evolution needs. This can be obviously witnessed through the literature work related to the evolution issues within software, databases, data warehouses and ontology. To keep an evolution history, several versions should be naturally managed and saved. This survey aims at analyzing research issues related to versioning of software, XML documents, database and data warehouse. Ontology researchers may be inspired by advances made in these research fields and apply the techniques developed to manage ontology versions.
