Let me see if i'm getting it,

so if my blogware doesn't have a local copy of this server repository,
downloads it from a sort of canonical source. Then,either

a) the canonical(s) server(s) ping my blogware when any record is
inserted / deleted / updated. My blogware can then choose to sync itself
incrementally or be left alone

b) my blogware downloads a fresh copy of the repository at a certain
times (every hour / day / week / month) to be sure it's up to date.

would it be something like this?

Regards,

manuel
