  • Publication number: 20070118572
    Abstract: Detecting concurrent changes in data includes storing a first version of data and first metadata corresponding thereto, receiving a second version of data and second metadata corresponding thereto, and determining whether the first version of data is the same as the second version of data using the first and second metadata. If the first version of data is not the same as the second version, a concurrency resolution process is initiated to resolve inconsistencies in data between the first version and the second version. The concurrency resolution process produces consolidated changes based on the first version and the second version.
