  • Patent number: 9430514
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for locking metadata associated with catalog items. An identifier of an item in the item catalog and update metadata associated with the item are received. Responsive to the receipt, it is determined whether a lock against modification is associated with the identified item. Responsive at least in part to the determination that the identified item is associated with a lock, the identified item is left unmodified in the item catalog rather than modifying the identified item in accordance with the update metadata.
