Iqbli

Iqbli is a fictional open-source platform designed to illustrate concepts in collaborative knowledge management and content curation. It is used in academic and industry writing as a hypothetical case study to discuss system design trade-offs, user roles, and data interoperability.

In the fictional description, Iqbli combines a modular data model, a tag-based navigation system, and a revision-controlled content repository. It supports multi-user collaboration, access controls, version history, and basic search over structured and unstructured content.

The proposed architecture uses a microservices-like approach with a central metadata store, pluggable storage adapters, and an API layer that offers REST and GraphQL endpoints. It emphasizes open standards like JSON, RDF, and OAuth 2.0.

In the case study, development began with a community-driven repository, followed by governance guidelines; implementations include a web interface, a command-line tool, and plugins for content import.

As a hypothetical project, no official release schedule exists; it is used in academic contexts to compare designs and to illustrate how different architectural choices affect scalability and usability.
