- Wiki engine. Software that is designed to support creation, collaborative editing, storage, and usage of hyper-linked documents. The editing usually occurs through a web browser. The Engine that is ready to be installed is called wiki software. The Engine that is installed, usually on one or more application servers, is called a wiki application. Sometimes, the Engine can be referred as knowledge management software. One or more wiki applications are usually used in order to build a document collaboration system.
- Version control (revision control, source control). In configuration management, management of changes to documents, computer files, and/or other resources. 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.
