Methodology

The information is clear and simple, since is about a format, most of the sources share

the same definition and structure, bur some have examples and details. First, I search for the

information by the tittle. Then I read all the articles and compare them, if the information is

similar, I will take the most important. I always save the link or the document where I was

reading the research, because I need to document the source. Since my research is a format, all

the information is similar, with not much to add, because it is a documentation style and it has to

follow certain rules.
