1. A system for collaboratively developing industrial applications, comprising:
a memory that stores executable components; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
a user interface component configured to render integrated development environment (IDE) interfaces on respective client devices and to receive, via interaction with the IDE interfaces, industrial design input that defines aspects of an industrial automation control project;
a project generation component configured to generate system project data based on the industrial design input; and
a collaboration management component configured to perform brokering between multiple sets of the industrial design input submitted via different client devices of the client devices, and integrate a selected subset of the sets of the industrial design input in the system project data based on results of the brokering.
