Hi Jochen, in my opinion, reusing the soft locking support (both on client and server sides) for DMS and Data would not be so straightforward, as the it was essentially designed for web pages. The basic idea behind it is very simple: when an editor opens a page in author mode, the page adds her to a list of users currently editing the same page and then starts polling the server at regular intervals to update this list as well as checking if the page was recently saved by one of the current editors and warn everybody else about it. Sure, that could be adapted to your use case but would definitely need some overhauling.
