ABSTRACT:
A method and mechanism for managing data to resolve incompatibilities between different versions of data is disclosed. According to one approach, incompatibilities to private data is managed using group/member dependent key(s)/link(s), static shared data is managed using group/member dependent key(s)/link(s), and dynamic shared data is managed using data transformation function(s).
