    "description": "Update: [collective notes from the workshop](https://pad.xpub.nl/p/federated-knowledge-39c3) (editable link).\r\n\r\nThis workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.\r\n\r\n- What does it mean to *federate* knowledge repositories?\r\n- Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?\r\n\r\nThese questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organizations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the [MediaWiki API](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API) to cross-synchronize my local Markdown notes and the [XPUB wiki](https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/), the public learning wiki of the [Experimental Publishing](https://xpub.nl) master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.\r\n\r\nSome further, more specific, insights and questions:\r\n\r\n- Local-first approaches and software (e.g. [Reflection](https://github.com/p2panda/reflection))\r\n- Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as [Ibis](https://ibis.wiki)\r\n- What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like [Anytype](https://anytype.io)\r\n- The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) does",
