just playing around for now... please ignore this!

NEED TO ADD TOPIC ON federated applications

see: https://ipp.developer.intuit.com/ipp/federated https://ipp.developer.intuit.com/ipp/federated/Get_Oriented/General_Overview http://www.totalenforcement.com/PDF/TCGTEAzureCS.pdf http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.ii.foundation.appdev.fed.j2ee.doc/developing/iiynafjava.html

James says:

my understanding is that a federated application allows you to integrate some aspect of another 
platform into your application or service

if we hosted DDA on our servers and let others embed the control via scripts or whatever into 
their own page or application and send us the data, that would be a form of a federated application

the key is that each part is usually from a separate vendor and they're designed to operate 
together, and not care about the source

f.e. intuit's federated application doesn't care where your financial data is coming from so 
long as it fits their model of what financial data should look like....f.e. pulling bank 
records from your bank....at the same time you could also find a 3rd party who uses the data 
stored by intuit and your bank to do something else....maybe create a budget or to figure out 
depreciation figures

(btw, there is a different mechanism that intuit uses for talking with your bank, not the 
federated platform...its the same mechanism your bank uses to show you your account online)
(it was just a good example)
