Federated

To put it simply: in federated environment there are many service providers from different domains for one type of service (e.g. social networking) but they are all interconnected and it possible to interact across the networks. In federated networks user has the freedom to change its service provider to the one it likes more without loosing personal data, files, or friends wherever they are.

Implementation Plan

There are many projects already in this area making the first successful steps and we are not competing with them. We understand that the realization of such kind of project is unrealistic considering the size and resources of current OmPlant team alone, so for us the endeavor has mostly a creative entertainment purpose for the moment. But with the holistic view of all the problems and possible solutions in the area we will be capable of delivering new solutions to the community, however small but in tune with the right current.

Our development team has already started to play with the source codes and as a realistic implementation plan we intend to deliver a free software application for one of the 12 dimensions of OmPlanet - the Category:Sonar project is our start for the Travel dimension.
