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 lists of IBG posts would be responsible for helping readers find posts and essentially create the network. | 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.

Information blogging guidelines (IBG) is a list of templates and goals for displaying information on a webpage. There are 5 templates and 3 goals listed below.

- There are __ _____ listed below alphabetically.
- There are __ _____ listed below chronologically.
Goals
- Minimalism and clarity of information
- Standardization across IBG posts
- Networks of IBG websites and blogs
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.
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 lists of IBG posts would be responsible for helping readers find posts and essentially create the network.
With the exception of Wikipedia, today the information on the internet is very disorganized. To address this, I believe we need a standard (or lingua franca) that enable different websites to work together towards the same information collection project. And to organize the world's information, I believe it would be necessary to have a standard for creating chunks of information. Creating chunks allows information to exist in a more granular format which can be used to create directories of links.
