| “ | [t]he comparison and reconciliation of interdependent data files at the same time so that they contain the same information.[1] | ” |
| “ | the process of establishing consistency among data from a source to a target data storage and vice versa and the continuous harmonization of such data over time. Hence, biometrics systems which are not properly synchronized could result in de-linked data, rendering them unreliable.[2] | ” |
