mark

ps - reminder 2 more ISO votes due by the end of the week - comments 
welcomed and needed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Voted  YES ISO/DTR 14873, Information and documentation — Statistics 
and Quality Indicators for Web Archiving for advancement to the next 
stage which could be another draft or publication
with the following comments:

there are several places in the document that seem to assume that a 
library is the primary organization in web archiving. Some examples

Terms and Definitions

2.1
access
a successful request of a library-provided online service
NOTE 1 to entry: access refers to the complete cycle of user activities 
that typically starts when a user connects to a library-provided online 
service and ends by an activity that terminates the connection, either 
explicitly (by logging-out or exit the service) or implicitly (timeout 
due to inactivity).
NOTE 2 to entry: Access to the library Website is counted as virtual visits

2.34
registered user
person or organization registered with a library in order to use its 
collection and/or services within or away from the library

4.4.2
b) Virtual Visitors
Virtual visits are defined in ISO 2789 as users’ request on the library 
Website from outside the library premises, regardless of the number of 
pages or elements viewed.

5.3.4 Accessibility an Usage

Indicator Number 8

Comments:

Cataloguing resources in Web archives enhances their accessibility and 
usability. It also helps integrate Web archive resources with other 
resources held by the library

Indicator Number 10

Name: Percentage of library users (onsite or online) using the Web archive

many other references to libraries in this section

While the DTR does make clear that many different type of organizations 
will be involved in Web Archiving, it seems that the references to 
library and libraries should be generalized to reflect that.

Disclaimer - Mark Needleman of the ASIST Standards Committee is a member 
of this ISO Working Group - but since all of the meetings have been in 
Berlin and almost none of the work has been done electronically, he has 
really not be able to participate in he work of the group or in the 
drafting of the DTR
