	abstract = {In this article, the authors explore the use and meaning of the word "collection." While the authors observe that creating individual collections with individual metadata definitions is acceptable on a small scale, when the shift is made to federated or distributed collections, this is no longer a viable option. The authors use the IMLS Digital Collection Registry as an case-study for their research. They explore the results of a staged, multi-method research strategy that addresses issues such as collection scope, collection consistency, collection enrichment, and audience. Finally, in their discussion the authors conjecture about the influence of the digital world on federated collections.},
