I used to work for IBM, on a backend service used by various Watson (and non Watson) branded projects.
I think federation would be a better term. There was a core set of APIs and hardware that might be called "Watson proper" but each market segment would be handled by a different organization. And then there was the proliferation of odd ball things out of research or little groups looking for growth/stability that get Watson branded.
Sometimes we'd be the first time a team relaizes there is already something doing what they've been building.
