Abstract:

Methods are provided for managing, sharing and providing access to data, especially among systems that are used to conduct a distributed application. Such methods may be beneficial, for example, in distributed networks having occasionally-connected devices. Methods are provided for linking and synchronizing data in a distributed network. In one example system, loosely-coupled systems may be used to implement such a network. Further, an abstraction layer may be used to abstract data elements (e.g., files, database elements) from those used by an application.
