1. A synchronization system for synchronizing application data from a first application among a plurality of applications, the synchronization being performed according to a data format and algorithm unsupported by the first application, comprising:

  • a synchronization adapter, external to the first application, receiving an identification of items in the application data of the first application to be synchronized among the plurality of applications and to generate synchronization metadata for each instance of the items identified in the application data of the first application and associating the generated metadata with corresponding items; and

    a data store storing the metadata associated with the corresponding items, wherein the synchronization adapter intermittently synchronizes the items in the data store with items in the at least one other synchronization endpoint, comprising one of the plurality of applications, according to the data format and algorithm, using the metadata.
