1. They allow multiple resilient communities to work together.

2.) They prevent standards from being corporatized by predators, i.e. Microsoft.

3.) Open standards are subject to mutual improvement, or even replacement, according to the usual open-source paradigm. Further, when using open standards, the issue of “sunk costs” is minimized, as no license was ever paid for.

It was an extensive blog post about bow-tie structures. It gave me an overview about the ways in which the concept is interpreted.

Thank you very much.
