EOL’sGuiding Principles
• Freely accessible: open access, open source
• Available from a single portal in a common format
• Quality• Always growing as new
species are discovered and new knowledge is generated
![Page 6: EOL in context](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5405f3508d7f729b768b50e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Goals• Unprecedented global collaboration of novices and experts• Combining scientific credibility with public enthusiasm
• Topics that influence our world• More than just a scientific project—a new social
phenomenon• Provide value for several audiences
• Scientists• Educators• Policymakers
• Citizens
