Semantic Federation: Integrating Legacy Data Systems Without Consolidation
Semantic federation is a data integration architecture in which an ontology serves as the shared conceptual model across heterogeneous source systems. Queries are expressed against the ontology rather than against individual source schemas, and a federation engine translates those queries into source-native operations at runtime.

The foundational decision is ontology scope: a well-bounded domain ontology is deployable and maintainable; an attempt to model everything at once produces a brittle artifact that stalls before it delivers value.

Fifty years of patches, middleware, and integration layers have not resolved the core structural mismatch between how relational systems model data and how real-world business domains actually behave.
