The Biodiversity Heritage Library for Europe (BHL-Europe) was a three-year (2009–2012) EU project aimed to the coordination of digitization of literature on biodiversity. It involved 28 major natural history museums, botanical gardens, libraries and other European institutions. BHL-Europe was founded in Berlin in May 2009 and regarded itself as a European partner project of the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) project, which was founded in 2005 and initially formed by ten (since 2009, twelve) United States and British libraries. BHL-Europe was a best practice network. Important components were the coordination of digitization and the creation of appropriate infrastructure, as well as the consolidation of various European digitization projects under a common centralized and multilingual BHL portal. The scope was to make available the digitized literature under Open Access and Creative Commons licenses, and to improve its searchability (using OCR). BHL-Europe was also responsible for the creation of structures for long-term storage of digital information (durability of digital data). ==Composition of BHL-Europe== The following 28 institutions functioned in May 2009 in Berlin as the founding members of the consortium of BHL-Europe:〔''http://www.bhl-europe.eu''〕 * Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin) (project leadership) * Natural History Museum (London) * National Museum (Prague) * European Digital Library Foundation (Europeana) * Angewandte Informationstechnik Forschungsgesellschaft AIT (Graz) * Atos Origin Integration France (Paris) * Freie Universität Berlin * Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (AnimalBase) * Naturhistorisches Museum Wien * Oberösterreichische Landesmuseen (Linz) * Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences (Warszawa) * Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest) * University of Copenhagen * Naturalis (Leiden) * National Botanic Garden of Belgium - Meise * Royal Museum for Central Africa (Tervuren) * Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences * Bibliothèque nationale de France (Paris) (Gallica) * Museum national d'histoire naturelle (Paris) * Spanish National Research Council (Madrid) * Università degli Studi di Firenze * Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh * Species 2000 * John Wiley & Sons * Smithsonian Institution (Washington) * Missouri Botanical Garden (St. Louis) * University of Helsinki * Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Biodiversity Heritage Library for Europe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
