1. A system that facilitates synchronizing data, comprising:

  • a processor;

    a computer-readable storage medium operationally coupled to the processor and storing computer executable instructions that when executed by the processor, implement components comprising;

    an analyzer component that is configured to analyze a first data item from a source, the first data item including a plurality of properties supported by the source, wherein the analyzer component is configured to compare the first data item with a second data item of a device and determines that the first data item and the second data item are duplicate data items; and

    a transfer component configured to transmit the first data item and a command to the device in accordance with the output from the analyzer component, wherein the command causes the system to synchronize the second data item by updating at least one property of the second data item with at least one respective property in the first data item while leaving at least one other property of the second data item unchanged, based on the determination that the first data item and the second data item are duplicate data items and a determination that the at least one other property of the second data item is unsupported by the source and not included in the first data item.
