The principles of the gBHL are:• Open access. The digital content served by gBHL members is available without cost and can be
reused by other projects and users with appropriate attribution.• Collaboration. Each gBHL member will actively coordinate its activities with other BHL partners to
achieve agreed objectives.• Decentralization. Each gBHL member is self-governing and funded.• Interoperability. Each gBHL member will deploy technologies enabling sharing of digital content
and services with other gBHL members.• Transparency. The processes of the gBHL will be transparent and clear to all members and the
public.• Legality. The gBHL members will operate within their legal frameworks.
