Borgification

Borgification is the assimilation of all available hardware resources into a single network entity. As well, it extends the unified network tree into other foreign "legacy" informational environments such as operating systems, language environments, document repositories, applications etc

Method can be summarised as "adding the time domain" to external resources.
