Abstract
A method for reusing, managing and monitoring definitions in documents. The new method suggests using a dedicated process that manages the ‘life cycle’ of the definitions called ‘the definition transitional states process’. This process keeps track of each definition version in a dedicated versions tree, state transition process and history/log files functioned to track the changes. The method further suggests a systematic way to monitor the process of updating all the relevant documents whenever a definition in one of the hierarchical documents is created or modified.
