- Metadata. Data about other data. Since data is usually presented by a document, metadata can be defined as a document that presents data about another document. For instance, when one uploads a multimedia file up to a file-sharing system, this system issues a system document that presents data from what user account the file is uploaded, its timestamp (when it is uploaded), what is its size, what is its title, category, and other tags that the uploading user and/or the system assigned to this file, etc.

- Wikipage. A webpage that a wiki engine powers.
- Web-based. A concept of locating some resource such as a document, service, or system on the Internet.
- HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). The standard markup language for web documents. HTML is one of three web languages that complement each other. Among these three, (a) HTML is used to mark up a webpage, (b) Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is used to provide multiple webpages of one or more websites with a single source of truth for their graphic elements, and (c) a programming language, JavaScript (JS), is used to create everything, especially multimedia features, that the first two languages cannot create.
- Markup language. Any language that is used to format a document, especially, a web document, and its humanly-readable text according to special marks, which are often called markup tags.
- Markup editor. A tool to edit a markup language.
- Document collaboration system. Any system that allows for editing in which many contributors may work on the same document. In other words, the Systems are generally designed to help multiple people work together on single documents to achieve their distinguished latest versions. Two main types of the Editors are collaborative realtime editors and, if the documents are textual or use textual markups, wiki engines.
- Collaborative realtime editor. The document collaboration system that enables realtime merging of edits of the same digital document, computer file or cloud-stored data that different users do. The editors tend to be web-based. To enter their edits, the end-users utilize their computers or mobile devices.

Each revision is associated with its metadata such as a timestamp and the author of the change. Commonly, revisions can be compared, restored, and with some types of documents, merged. Version control systems are standalone software applications that work with one or more databases, which store revised documents, or software repositories, which store revised files. Nevertheless, version control tools are often embedded in various types of software such as document collaboration, learning managements, and project management systems.
