A registry, not a network
GHLL is not a social network, not an educational platform and not a marketplace. It is an official registry — a global standard in the spirit of ISBN, DOI and ORCID — that identifies, preserves and connects the living contributions of humanity.

Identifiers are generated automatically, never reused and never deleted. A record's status may change — its identity never does.
Status lifecycle: Proposed → Verified → Recognized → Active → Historical → Archived.
