## Transparency
<div class="columns-2">
Information systems vary in the transparency of the their implementations, in terms of both standards and implementation.
- Open ([standards](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_standard), [source](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source))
- Closed ([proprietary](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_software))
* [Shareware](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware), Trialware
* [Commercial software](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_software): proprietary or open
<br>
<br>
<br>
* The documentation for an **open standard** is open to the public and anyone can create a software that implements and uses the standard.
* The documentation and specification for **closed standards** are not available to the public.
