1. A method for operating a synchronization server installed and running on a local processing system, the method comprising:

  • storing, on a local processing system, one or more local associated data sets each having associated therewith a local global equivalency identification datum (GID);

    receiving from a client processing system a remote associated data set having associated therewith a remote GID;

    identifying the remote associated data set as one of new or old by determining if the remote GID is equivalent to a local GID of one of the one or more local associated data sets;

    upon identifying the remote associated data set as new, identifying the remote data set as one of truly new or independently created by checking at least one identity key of the remote associated data set against at least one identity key of at least one local associated data set;

    upon identifying the remote associated data set as independently created, associating the remote and local associated data sets as corresponding to each other at the local processing system.
