Abstract
The Harmony system is a generic framework for reconciling disconnected updates to heterogeneous, replicated XML data. It can be used, for instance, to synchronize the bookmark files of several different web browsers, allowing bookmarks and bookmark folders to be added, deleted, edited, and reorganized by different users running different browser applications on disconnected machines.
