Hi Jennifer, I'm in the middle of designing a software app that has this same concept of local vs. server data. The software is used by Retailers to manage products sold through Kiosks in their stores and Regional and Store Managers have the ability to adjust pricing and availability of these products for their own stores.
We're using the term "local" to describe the version of the data the user works with on their desktop and "disconnected" to communicate when the user does not have a connection to the server and cannot publish/merge their updates with the server (aka "the mothership"). So far the terms we're using have been understood by a couple of the top Retailers who will be using the software. I'm working on testing the prototypes with more users in the near future... Hope that helps!
