How do I do this:?

3 Libraries

Master
Mine
Hers

2 computers
-Kubuntu/Win7 Dual-boot
-Win Vista

Master Library and My Library will be on Kubuntu/Win7 computer
Hers will be on Win Vista computer, but the library will be on external drive, so will be plugged into mine for updates to books.

Planned workflow:

1. New Book

A new book is added to Master
The metadata is updated
The book is sent from Master to Mine/Hers Libraries
The personal Metadata, read status/ratings etc..., are only added in those individual libraries.

2. Updated book data in Master.

A books metadata is updated/changed in the Master Library.
The updated metadata is sent on to Mine/Hers Libraries.
The personal metadata, which is different in each personal library,must somehow be left intact.
