- pugworthy 7y agoFor those like me who aren’t used to the term federated... “Federated architecture (FA) is a pattern in enterprise architecture that allows interoperability and information sharing between semi-autonomous de-centrally organized lines of business (LOBs), information technology systems and applications.“ —Wikipedia
