Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for managing history metadata of a file. The method may include accessing a first file with delta information. The method may also include determining a portion of the first file to be moved. The method may also include reviewing the delta information of the first file for changes to the portion in the delta information. The method may also include, in response to reviewing the delta information, generating a portion delta history for the portion. The method may also include inserting the portion in a position in a second file, where the portion is inserted with the portion delta history. The method may also include generating new delta information for the second file, where the new delta information includes the portion delta history of the inserted portion.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention can include a method, a computer program product, an apparatus, and a system for handling Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) updates to entities. The aspect can receive at least one update to be applied to a UDDI entity within a UDDI registry. Each received update can be applied to the related UDDI entity. At least one subscriber of the updated entity can be determined. A status indicator for each detected subscriber can be changed to indicate that a subscription to the entity has been deleted, wherein the change to the status indicator negates a need to scan the subscriptions associated with the entity for each received update to the entity.
