Reconciling Versioning and Context in Hypermedia Structure Servers

Contextual structure servers and versioning servers share a similar goal in allowing different views on a stored structure according to the viewer's perspective. In this paper we argue that a generic contextual model can be used to facilitate versioning. In order to prove our hypothesis we have drawn on our experiences with OHP-Version to extend FOHM's contextual model.
