[Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes](
)Join the workshop at #39C3!
NEW DATE: **Day 4, 13:40** @ [Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area](
).
*Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?*
This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.<li>What does it mean to <em>federate</em> knowledge repositories?</li><li>Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?</li>
These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the [MediaWiki API]( ) to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the [XPUB wiki]( ), the public learning wiki of the [Experimental Publishing]( ) master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.
Some further, more specific, insights and questions:<li>Local-first approaches and software (e.g. <a href="https://github.com/p2panda/reflection" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Reflection</a>)</li><li>Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as <a href="https://ibis.wiki" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ibis</a></li><li>What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like <a href="https://anytype.io" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Anytype</a></li><li>The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as <a href="https://obsidian.md" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Obsidian</a> does</li>
