1. A method, comprising:

  • obtaining a first dataset and a second dataset;

    identifying a unique and different identifier that is associated with each of the files of the first dataset from multiple attributes associated with each of the files of the first dataset;

    comparing the unique identifiers of files of the first dataset with the unique identifiers of files of the second dataset;

    determining a first set of files that comprises all of the files of the first dataset that are not elements of the second dataset based on the comparison;

    determining a second set of files that comprises all of the files of the second dataset that are not elements of the first dataset based on the comparison;

    determining a third set of files that comprises all of the files that are contained in both the first dataset and the second dataset based on the comparison;

    comparing a temporal indicator associated with each file in the third set of files to identify files contained in both the first dataset and the second dataset having a same unique identifier, but a different temporal indicator;

    generating a list of files to update based on the identified files; and

    synchronizing the second dataset with the first dataset by adding the first set of files to the second dataset, deleting the second set of files from the second dataset, and updating the second dataset with files from the first dataset that are contained in the list of files.
