Abstract

We show that the bicategory of operads and bimodules can be embedded into the bicategory of symmetric 2-rigs, a categorification of commutative rings. In order to do this, we introduce the notion of an operadic 2-rig and show that the full sub-bicategory of symmetric 2-rigs spanned by operadic 2-rigs has the universal property of being a completion under Eilenberg-Moore-Kleisli objects.
