Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A Web service synchronization protocol is provided that sets forth the metadata and messaging by which endpoints roam, share and synchronize common information with one another in a multi-master networked computing ecosystem. A general SOAP-based protocol is defined for synchronizing data between two endpoints where one or more of the endpoints supports a Web service. Defining messaging for knowledge-based transfers using XML Web services, the protocol allows devices, services and applications to synchronize through firewalls, allows for flexibility by allowing any common set or subset of information across endpoints and allows for extensibility by not prescribing the schema of the actual data being synchronized at the endpoints.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for data synchronization between a plurality of nodes communicatively coupled via one or more networks, comprising: transmitting a request associated with synchronizing filtered knowledge maintained by an originating node with filtered knowledge maintained by a different node, wherein the filtered knowledge maintained by the originating node corresponds to a subset of knowledge maintained by the originating node, and wherein the filtered knowledg…
