A method comprising:

• linking an item of a document to a document identification number;
• storing the item in a relational database as linked to the document identification number to create a series of stored items linked to the document identification number;
• generating an enhancement to the document via creation of an elemental document based on combining the series of stored items linked to the document identification number;
• receiving one or more revisions made to at least one item of the elemental document through at least one graphical user interface (GUI) of one or more computing devices;
• storing the one or more revisions to at least one item of the elemental document as one or more corresponding items in the relational database linked to the document identification number;
• searching the elemental document for a revision at a point in time over a period of time;
• and
• viewing the revision at the point in time in the elemental document on the GUI.

A method comprising:

• parsing a document into a series of items linked to a document identification number;
• storing each item in a relational database as linked to the document identification number to create a series of stored items linked to the document identification number;
• generating an enhancement to the document via creation of an elemental document based on combining the series of stored items linked to the document identification number;
• enabling collaboration on the elemental document across one or more computing devices, each comprising a graphical user interface (GUI);
• receiving one or more revisions made to at least one item of the elemental document through at least one GUI of a computing device of the one or more computing devices;
• and
• storing the one or more revisions to at least one item of the elemental document as one or more corresponding items in the relational database linked to the document identification number.
