Hi folks – we’re scheduled to resume this conversation at 11a Eastern on tuesday next week.
Now that we’ve heard a real-world story of a federation experience from Kate, I’d like this next conversation to open up a bit to explore the technical and tactical challenges.
I know we have technical questions about structuring identifiers among distributed sources, and provenance metadata.
Also there’s the question of how to establish “official” or “core” or “golden” records that are reliably verified by a designated steward in a way that still enables others to add their own custom data.
We also have questions about structuring governance, and incentives – i.e. how organizations can be equitably compensated for distributed contributions.
What are your questions? Please let me know so we can do a bit of work in advance to shape the agenda
