knowledge federation @JackP
From my thesis proposal:
Federation, in our context, is simply based on a root dictionary definition: a process that brings together without filters.
That context held that information resources are the objects of the federation process.

In the TopicQuests Knowledge Gardening context, we use the term Omnipartisan to define an approach to gathering information resources (gardening); we seek all points of view, each of which becomes a discrete information resource to be federated.

In my thesis proposal, the task was to outline novel ways to actually ​federate​ information resources. The process which evolved in that study is that of ​topic mapping​. Topic maps are information maps, containers of specific resources called ​topics​, each of which serves as a representative ​proxy​ for a particular ​subject​.
 
The process of federation, in that context, literally entails determining if a new information resource coming to a particular topic map is ​about​ a known topic. The topic map asks:
​Have I Seen This Before​?
 
That process describes the ​information technology​ side of federation processes.
 
I see the ​social​ side of federation processes as a kind of ​discipline​, one which entails remaining mindful of the needs of a Federation (the socio-technological ​tribe​ <nic>).
