Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for updating and reconciling asset repositories. A user event, generated by, or otherwise associated with, an asset is detected. The operations event identifies characteristics of the asset with which the event is associated. The information is compared with repository-stored information. If comparison indicates dissimilarity with the newly-obtained information and the repository-stored information, the contents of the asset repository are updated to indicate the updated information.
