Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a metadata synchronizer. Data stored on a data storage device connected to a computer is synchronized. At specified intervals, a tool that operates on an object is monitored to identify changes to metadata of that object. When changes to the metadata are identified, an information catalog containing corresponding metadata for the object is updated.
