With the exception of Wikipedia, today the information on the internet is very disorganized. To address this, I believe we need a standard that enables different websites to work together on the same information collection project. To organize the world's information, I believe it would be necessary to have a standard for creating small chunks of information. Chunking allows information to exist in a more granular medium which allows greater flexibility when organizing and arranging pieces of information in a directory or list.

If two bloggers make a post on the same topic using IBG, both posts would exist just as two different web pages on the same topic can exist on the internet. I imagine that there would be curators who would create collections of posts from various blogs. The curator of one of these collections would select their preferred post on a specific topic if there were multiple posts on a topic.
The curators who create directories (or search engines) of IBG posts would be responsible for helping readers find posts and essentially create the network.

Goals

My goal is to find people and organizations who are willing to convert their knowledge into the IBG format. I'm optimistic that someday there can be thousands of blogs and websites that use IBG to create a decentralized network of compatible reference works.

With the exception of Wikipedia, I believe today the information on the internet is very disorganized. To address this, we need a standard that enables different websites to work together on the same information collection project. I also believe such a standard should create small chunks of information. Chunking allows information to exist in a more granular medium which allows greater flexibility when organizing and arranging pieces of information in a directory.

The curators who create directories (or search engines) of IBG posts would be responsible for helping readers find posts and essentially create the network.
