GENERAL DESCRIPTION: EDBM is a file management system which provides a
common storage area for a projects files and enhances the communication
between project team members. EDBM is a hierarchical data base. Some of
its special features are its access list capablility which allows one user
to give either modify or read access to their files. Another feature is
the ability to attach a notification list to a file so that anytime some
activity occurs in regards to a particular file all users will be notified.
The comment feature allows a user to attach a note to a file telling other
users of the project anything they deem important about the file. The
retrieve feature allows a user to obtain a copy of a file from the project
and reserves it so that other users will not be able to modify the file.
Finally EDBM has revision control capability and archiving capability.
