   Ballot Title: Review of ANSI/NISO Z39.87-2006, Data Dictionary - 
Technical Metadata for Digital Still Images 
<http://www.niso.org/apps/org/workgroup/z39_87_review/ballot.php?id=263>

________________________________
Description/Question
NISO recognizes that its standards require regular review to remain 
effective. For ANSI/NISO standards, this review is done in accordance to 
ANSI requirements for maintenance. For those ANSI/NISO standards under 
periodic maintenance, this must be completed not later than five (5) 
years after the ANSI approval date. This is a periodic review ballot for 
the published standard, ANSI/NISO Z39.87-2006, Data Dictionary - 
Technical Metadata for Digital Still Images. It is available for 
download from: http://www.niso.org/standards/z39-87-2006 Recommendation: 
In accordance with NISO's operating procedures, all review ballots are 
accompanied by a recommendation from the responsible leadership 
committee. NISO's Content and Collection Management Topic Committee 
Recommends a vote of REAFFIRM for ANSI/NISO Z39.87-2006. Justification: 
The Topic Committee recommends a "REAFFIRM" vote based on feedback of 
current use of this standard received during the review period from this 
voting pool. Next steps: If reaffirmed, the Topic Committee will then 
appoint a subcommittee to review the standard more closely to determine 
if and why a revision might be needed. A reaffirmation now will provide 
additional time to do a more thorough study of this standard. You are 
encouraged to provide any additional comments with your vote that might 
provide the Topic Committee with further information regarding the 
possible need for a future revision. Please note that a revision can 
begin at any time after the reaffirmation of the current standard (with 
NISO voting member approval); it is not necessary to wait until the next 
5-year periodic review. Voting Options: As a member of the voting pool, 
you are required to vote on this ballot. Please cast your ballot with 
one of the following voting options: * Reaffirm. Minor editorial 
corrections may be included in the reaffirmed standard. * Revise. In 
cases where the Managing Committee recommends a vote to "Revise," the 
ballot includes a list of areas where revision is recommended. If 
approved, NISO will propose a Working Group to develop the revised 
standard. The current version remains in effect until a revised version 
is approved. Votes to "Revise" should be limited to substantive 
revisions. PLEASE NOTE: "Revise" votes are considered negative votes 
(i.e., a vote to not reaffirm). * Withdraw. If this action is approved, 
the standard will be removed from the list of approved NISO standards. 
The standard will remain available as a withdrawn standard for five (5) 
years. "Withdraw" votes are considered negative votes (i.e., a vote to 
not reaffirm). * Abstain. It is expected that all members of a Voting 
Pool vote. If the Voting Member feels that, despite originally joining 
the Voting Pool with the intention to vote, that the Voting Member can 
no longer record a voting position, the Member may choose to "Abstain." 
Members should provide the reason(s) for abstaining. Possible reasons 
include but are not limited to: a perceived conflict of interest, the 
inability to reach internal consensus, or a lack of expertise to 
evaluate areas addressed by the draft. Please provide comments with 
Withdraw and Revise (negative) votes. Comments may accompany all ballots.
