  1. Using Subversion • When collaborating, it is important to manage changes in the models. For example: • To create or edit a submodel • E.g. Habitat suitability is replaced with another method of computing habitat values. • To submit a “rough copy” of a model to the repository for review by collaborators at another institution. • To keep track of data needed from other submodels. • Can submit a “data request” to all model developers • To keep track of influences/data-flow between submodels. • To revise documentation. • To track revisions by author, time, date, revision number. • Possibly the best feature: Nothing is ever “gone forever” , since you can always recover the last version.
