Abstract: Many current version control systems use a simple
data model that is barely sufficient to manipulate source-code.
This simple data model is not sufficient to provide versioning
capabilities for software modeling environments, which are
strongly focused on analysis and architectural design artifacts.
In this work, we introduce a flexible version control system for
UML model elements. This version control system, named
Odyssey-VCS, deals with the complex data model used by UML-based
CASE tools. Moreover, it allows the configuration of both the
unit of versioning and unit of comparison for each specific
project, respecting the different needs of the diverse
development scenarios.
