General Principles

• Commitment to Openness

  BIMe Initiative guides and tools are released through open channels under a Creative Commons license allowing free use by individuals and organisations on their own projects (service providers require a license)

• Grown around a Knowledge Structure

  The BIMe Initiative is built upon a clear structure for harvesting and organising knowledge. This structure allows the modular development of highly-interconnected guides and tools

• Peer-sourced and Peer-tested

  The BIMe Initiative connects international subject matter experts – from academia and industry - through a high-intensity R&D network. Through this network, the best solutions are identified, incubated, tested and released

• Open Innovation across boundaries

  The BIMe Initiative provides a knowledge tool-kit for anyone to use, customise, translate and continuously improve. Through Open Innovation, new solutions are collaboratively developed and shared across disciplines, industries and markets
