This is the most sophisticated Process-focused Application pattern in the domain of Application Integration patterns.

Review:

Data Integration application patterns

This approach to application integration is more appropriate when applications need to share information rather than coordinate processing.

Federation

This Application pattern provides access to many diverse data sources and provides the appearance that these sources are a single logical data store.
