Description

This learning report for the DARE UK FOCUS-5 project explores the challenge of communicating federation, federated data, and federated analytics across public, professional, governance, and technical audiences. It shows that the main barrier was not simply producing public-facing resources, but the lack of stable shared language across stakeholder groups. Drawing on workshops, presentations, survey development, and early prototyping, the report argues for a more staged approach: clarify core principles first, then build layered resources and public engagement materials on stronger shared foundations.
