Abstract

Developing and deploying a global and scalable data access service is a challenging task. We assume that the globalization is achieved by creating and maintaining appropriate metadata while the scalability is achieved by limiting the number of entities taking part in keeping the metadata consistency. In this paper, we present different consistency and synchronization models for various metadata types chosen for implementation of global and scalable data access service.
