The ''Principles'' attempt to hybridize the framework of infrastructure studies with the analysis of the [[commons]] initiated by [[Elinor Ostrom]]. The principles develop a series of recommendations in three critical areas to the success of open infrastructures:

* '''Governance''': the governance of the infrastrutureinfrastructure should be open and accountable to the scientific communities it aims to serve. Specific measures should ensure that the management of the organization is transparent and diverse.{{sfn|Bilder|Lin|Neylon|2015}}

* '''Sutainability''': the core activities of organization should be covered by recurring funds. Short-term subventions should be limited to short-term projects. Whil the organization could charge for services, it should not extend to the data that should remain "a community property".{{sfn|Bilder|Lin|Neylon|2015}}

* '''Insurance''': the technical infrastructure and the output of the organization are open. This ensure that the infrastructure can be recreated if necessary (in the jargon of open source, it becomes "forkable").{{sfn|Bilder|Lin|Neylon|2015}}
