ABSTRACT:
A distributed data object sharing system in which a plurality of data objects are replicated across computing nodes. The system may be operable to identify replica conflicts for the data objects and modify tree structures to reflect the conflicts. In one embodiment, a tree structure may represent a plurality of replica versions. Replica versions in conflict with each other may be represented as child versions at branch points in the tree.
