there is a way of importing and merging data into the mmbase cloud
formalized by the
importer application. the importer is pretty extensible, allowing you to
easly define your own rules for merging records in the cloud.
There is pretty good documentation, check it out.

Also WIAB and maybe leocms have the concept of node versioning
wiab works by only allowing editwizards to only edit nodes that are
copies of the original. security can be used to hide nodes that are in
the versioning. I would be great to have a miniMMBase implementation
that uses xml as storage format

Ussually it's only a few lines code to read and parse CSV or tab-separated file
and import it to MMBase (e.g. using RMMCI / bean-shell).

Synchronization is also possible, but can be more tricky. I have done that
in my 'mediaimporter' which can be found in speeltuin/mihxil/mediaimporter
(which synchronizes (only one way), a huge list of files into mmbase
objects).
