Periodically clearing databases of stored conflicting replicated documents
in a regular automatic way which comprises a combination of defining a prioritized
sequence of predetermined attribute values to be applied to distinguish between
the stored documents in each of said replication conflicts and periodically applying
said sequence of predetermined attribute values to said plurality of replication
conflicts to resolve each conflict by eliminating all but one of the documents
in said conflict for insufficient value of a predetermined attribute. This prioritized
sequence of attribute values may be applied at regular periodic intervals.
