Systems and methods for federated knowledge goverance

A method, comprising:

• receiving, from a consumer device and by a federated knowledge base (KB) computing platform, a search request for a certified version of a first document that is stored in a first KB computing system;
• based on the search request, determining, by the federated KB computing platform, a first document snapshot reference that comprises an identifier that identifies a storage location of the certified version of the first document within the first KB computing system, wherein the federated KB computing platform stores a plurality of document snapshot references associated with a plurality of documents that are stored in a plurality of different KB computing systems, and wherein the first KB computing system stores one or more versions of the first document including the certified version of the first document;
• retrieving, by the federated KB computing platform and based on the determination, the identifier that identifies the storage location of the certified version of the first document within the first KB computing system;
• and
• using the identifier to access the certified version of the first document that is stored in the first KB computing system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:

• receiving, from a consumer device, a search request for a certified version of a first document that is stored in a first knowledge base (KB) computing system;
• based on the search request, determining a first document snapshot reference that comprises an identifier that identifies a storage location of the certified version of the first document within the first KB computing system, wherein a federated KB computing platform stores a plurality of document snapshot references associated with a plurality of documents that are stored in a plurality of different KB computing systems, and wherein the first KB computing system stores one or more versions of the first document including the certified version of the first document;
• retrieving, based on the determination, the identifier that identifies the storage location of the certified version of the first document within the first KB computing system;
• and
• using the identifier to access the certified version of the first document that is stored in the first KB computing system.
