ClearCase novelty was in its versioned file system, which can be mounted as a virtual file system through a ''view'', selecting a consistent set of versions and allowing for the production of [[Derived Object|derived objects]]. The view allows thus to map to a [[Software Configuration]]. This was a departure from the ''repository''/''sandbox'' model, allowing for the early management of artifacts (before they are being checked in, and not limited to these first order configuration items).
