[Asis-l] Fwd: [NISO tc46ballots] Seeking U.S. rep for working group for revision of ISO 21127:2006 -- A reference ontology for the interchange of cultural heritage information

[Mark H Needleman]

FYI in case anyone from the ASIST membership would like to be nominated 
to work on this

Mark Needleman

ASIST Standards Committee



NISO members of the TC46 Ballot group have voted to approve a new 
project to revise ISO 21127:2006, Information and documentation -- A 
reference ontology for the interchange of cultural heritage information.

Because we are voting to approve the new project, we are required to 
identify an “expert” from the U.S. to work on this revision project, if 
the final result is an approval. (I expect it to be approved.) We did 
not receive any names to work on this project so I am asking all of you 
now if you can identify someone with some expertise in this area who 
would be willing to work on this project. The working groups generally 
do their work through conference calls and e-mail. This particular 
standard gets a lot of input from the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model 
(CRM) group and there is already a working draft of the revision 
prepared, so this project should not be as time-consuming as some.

Please reply to me via email by Wednesday, February 9 with the name and 
contact information for anyone you would like to nominate to be on this 
working group.

Thank you.
