1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • storing the data of a first version of a design document in a first version table within a memory of a computer associated with a second entity, the first version of the design document being sent from a computer associated with a first entity, the first version of the design document being produced at the computer associated with the first entity before the first version of the design document is sent from the computer associated with the first entity;

    storing the data of a second version of the design document in a second version table within the memory of the computer associated with the second entity, the second version of the design document being received from the computer associated with the first entity after first version of the design document was received from the computer associated with the first entity; and

    comparing the data of the second version table with the data of the first version table to detect a change in the data between the first version of the design document and the second version of the design document,if a change in the data is detected, setting the first version table to the second version table;

    using, at the computer associated with the second entity, a dictionary with correct data for the design document to correct and validate the data of the second version table to produce a corrected and validated internal version table; and

    storing the corrected and validated internal version table within the memory of the computer associated with the second entity such that the memory of the computer associated with the second entity includes the corrected and validated internal version table and the first version table at a given time.
