Abstract
An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for selective delta validation of a shared artifact receives a notification associated with a shared artifact, determines whether a unique key exists for the shared artifact in a symbol data structure, and responsive to a determination that the unique key exists, determines whether an update from an external source occurred. Responsive to a determination that the update occurred from an external source, receives a timestamp associated with the unique key from the symbol data structure to form a received timestamp, determines whether the received timestamp is prior to a last modification time, and responsive to a determination that the received timestamp is prior to the last modification time, performs a delta validation of the shared artifact.
