1. In a networked system including a server and a client, wherein the server stores a resource, a method of enabling a client to access the resource, comprising the steps of:

  • transmitting, from the server to the client, resource state information that represents the state of the resource stored at the server at a selected moment;

    transmitting, from the server to the client, a copy of the resource as it exists at the server at the selected moment;

    storing the copy of the resource in a local store associated with the client;

    modifying the copy of the resource stored in the local store;

    transmitting the modified copy and the resource state information from the client to the server;

    based on the resource state information transmitted to the server, determining whether the resource stored at the server has changed since the selected moment; and

    if it is determined that the resource stored at the server has not changed, replacing the resource stored at the server with the modified copy.
