Knowledge Federation Webservices Protocol

Permitting communication among many different participants in an online knowledge federation.

There is an architectural presumption in the nature of this conversation; we should flesh out that presumption, then try to find ways to ignore it in order to see what else surfaces. The presumption is this:

A presumed knowledge federation architecture consists of many online epistemic communities such as Induct, Wikipedia, DebateGraph, and others, each engaged in different styles of knowledge work, and each seeking to share their work with others; we say that they each seek to participate in a federation of work products. Presumed approaches to such federation include, but are not limited to:
  • P2P sharing among individual communities
  • Client-server sharing with a central memory, perhaps a topic map of the territory being constructed by each community
This conversation seeks to enumerate the use cases, scenarios, approaches, and frameworks related to such federation activities. In the conversation's title, we presume a webservices protocol; it is not clear that this is the only approach, but the title serves to start the conversation.
