SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A GLOBAL TRANSLATOR TO SYNCHRONIZE WORKSPACE ELEMENTS ACROSS A NETWORK

摘要

A system (100) uses a global translator (122) to automatically synchronize multiple copies of a workspace element across different format between multiple sites in a secure network environment, independent of whether the sites are protected by site firewalls (114). The secure network environment includes a global server (106) connected to multiple clients. The system includes a first store (136) for storing a first workspace element in a firs t format, a second store (154) for storing a workspace in a second format, a communication channel (108) coupling the first store to the second store, an d a translator (122) for translating between a first format and second format.
