The platform was conceived as a way of reducing the South to North kowledge gap, improving the visibility of essential research and knowledge from local and regional sources in developing countries across the world, and supporting the progress of science to develop a gobal-scale knowledge base in its fields of concern. Bioline International was launched in 1993 as a joint project between the Tropical Database (now, The Reference Center on Environmental Information) in Barzil and The Electronic Publishing Trust for Development in the United Kingdom. The CRIA provided server hosting, administration and development, which The EPT oversaw content management, project development and research. In 2000, The UTSC Library and UTSC's Department of Social Sciences took over the role previously occupied by The Electronic Publishing Trust for Development.
