The Politics Of Federated Queries
As this is being published, I am probably on stage at Gilbane Boston, participating in the Applications Of Search In Sharepoint panel discussion. Which is interesting, as I am not a SharePoint person. I do know data, though, so I’m talking using federated queries to search both structured and unstructured data.
In a departure from my more typical technical deep dive, this chat is more about the politics of implementing a federated query system. I’ve deployed federated systems for a few federal clients and the politics of each process were far more challenging than the technical issues. Tackling semantic search is a breeze compared to trying to get a forty year holdover from the LBJ days to loosen his grip on his precious, precious data.
But I digress.
The deck is available on Slideshare. I believe Gilbane will be publishing a video of the panel; I will update this post when that occurs. Thanks again to the Gilbane Group for giving us the opportunity to speak!
