A data dictionary generation system automatically populates and updates a data dictionary for listings offering shared data. The data listing distribution component distributes the data dictionaries to various remote deployments in a data exchange by using a global messaging framework and replication method. For example, the data listing distribution component replicates a data dictionary generated for the listing and its shared data from a source deployment to one or more destination deployments associated with various geographic regions. The data listing distribution component distributes the listing to the various remote deployments to allow for the listing, including its shared data and data dictionary, to be accessed by users within the geographic region associated with the remote deployment.
