Abstract
Exemplary methods, devices, systems, and/or storage media for organizational data management, including staging, synchronizing, and exporting of organizational data. Exemplary data aggregation rules specify methods for aggregating data from a remote repository. Schemas are exemplary rules configuration data structures having elements for associating processing data objects in a buffer space objects in a core space. The elements may also specify importing attributes into and exporting attributes from the core space.
