A federated data platform is a system or architecture that enables decentralized data management and collaboration across multiple locations, systems, or organizations while maintaining data ownership, security, and privacy at the source. Instead of centralizing all the data in a single repository, a federated platform allows decentralized data storage, meaning data remains distributed at different organizations or devices, but makes it accessible and usable across the participating entities. In essence, a federated data platform is a powerful way to enable collaboration and analysis across distributed data ecosystems without compromising privacy, security, or ownership.
