System and method for using a global translator to synchronize workspace elements across a network

Abstract

A system transmits new workspace elements or new workspace element changes at a first memory store via an electronic network to a second memory store. The system includes a first memory store for storing workspace elements, a second memory store coupled via an electronic network to the first memory store for storing workspace element copies, an interface for receiving new workspace elements at the first memory store, and a general synchronization module for electronically transmitting copies of the new workspace elements via the electronic network to the second memory store.

1 . A system, comprising: 
 a first memory store including a first folder for storing first record entries in a file;    a second memory store coupled to the first memory store the second memory store including a second folder for storing second record entries in a file, the second folder being synchronized with the first folder at a first moment in time such that a content of the second folder is consistent with the content of the first folder at the first moment in time;    an interface for receiving new record entries in a file at the first memory store;    a general synchronization module for electronically synchronizing the first folder and a third folder such that a anew third record entry is created in the third folder based on the new first record entries; and a synchronization agent for electronically synchronizing the third folder and the second folder such that a new second record entry is created in the second folder based on the new third record entry.
