Abstract

In synchronizing a plurality of handheld devices with a repository, versions of the information in the repository and on the handheld devices are tracked and used to determine the need for updating information in the repository or the handheld device. Data objects are converted from repository data objects into handheld data objects for downloading to the handheld and vice versa for the uploading of data to the repository.
