Tutorial Proposal
Abstract: 

This tutorial will give an overview and a practical introduction to ResourceSync, a synchronization framework consisting of modular capabilities that a server can selectively implement to enable third party systems to remain synchronized with its evolving resources. Motivations for the ResourceSync approach will be explained by outlining several synchronization use cases including re-use of information in scholarly repositories, and sharing of linked data knowledge bases. The tutorial will detail the underlying concepts and implementation of ResourceSync capabilities, discovery mechanisms, and serialization based on the widely adopted Sitemap protocol. It will describe extensibility of the synchronization framework beyond the core use cases, for example, to include communication of references to mirror locations of synchronization resources, transferring only patches for changed resources, and offering historical data.
