ABSTRACT:
During synchronization of data between a remote device and a local device, it can be determined if a value for a property on a remote device has changed since a last synchronization of the property between the remote device and a local machine. A remote representation of a property value is compared to a local representation associated with the same property value. If the representations are identical, it can be determined that the property value did not change on the remote device. If, however, they are not identical then the property value must have changed after the remote representation was generated.
