Therefore we can have situation where resources at the Master Data Management Collaboration Server or the information center hosting server might have changed or upgraded but the browser has previous information cached. Once a resource is cached, a browser or proxy can refer to the locally cached copy instead of having to download it again on subsequent visits to the web page.
