-
maintaining a document family registry data structure, including for a particular document family document family versions; transforms including program instructions that transform data between document family versions; responding to requests that identify first and second document family versions by providing one or more sequences of transforms or references to transforms to be executed remotely, that transform the data from the first document family version to the second document family version. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
