From mneedlem at ufl.edu Mon Dec 1 07:54:22 2014 From: mneedlem at ufl.edu (Mark H Needleman) Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2014 07:54:22 -0500 Subject: [Asis-standards] a few more votes Message-ID: <017601d00d65$ee13d700$ca3b8500$@ufl.edu> Folks I sent out a note over the weekend about a couple of ISO votes - I havent received a copy so Im wondering if it got through - if anyone got it please let me know Also there are a few more votes coming up in NISO ( I think these will be the last votes for 2014): 1) Do you approve of a Proposed New Work Item: Development of Standards for Alternative Metrics This ballot is to approve a proposed new work item to create ANSI/NISO standards covering definitions, calculation methodologies, improvement of data quality, and use of persistent identifiers in alternative metrics. Members have thirty (30) days to vote on the work item. Your vote options are: Yes (approve the project), No (do not approve the project), or Abstain (from voting). Comments are required for No votes. If you would like to nominate someone to participate on the Working Groups (if the project is approved), please provide a name and contact information in your comments. NISO Working Group participation is not limited to NISO members. This proposal is to develop commonly used definitions and guidelines for appropriate collection and reporting of data in the general area of alternative assessment metrics, so that organizations who wish to utilize these metrics can adequately understand them and ensure their consistent application and meaning across the community. As detailed in the attached NISO Work Item document, Phase I of a NISO initiative gathered much input from relevant stakeholder groups as to what areas of alternative metrics would benefit most from standards-related developments. Phase II of the Project, to begin in late 2014, will advance the particular action items listed in the Work Item through the creation of several NISO working groups to develop standards covering these areas. Following Draft Standard review and subsequent NISO Voting Member ballot, if approved, a Maintenance Agency or Standing Committee will be appointed for future review and maintenance of the Standard(s). The proposal was approved by the Business Information Topic Committee on October 14, 2014, and is now being sent to the NISO voting membership for agreement to begin a new work project and to elicit expressions of interest in participating in the work. In order for this item to be approved so that a Working Group can be formed to pursue this work, a minimum of 10% of NISO's Voting Members must express interest in this new work item. All those who express interest will be added to the Standards for Altmetrics Voting Pool. Members can join the Voting Pool at any time up until the final ballot at the end of the project. Comments and a recommendation for a vote needed by 12/7 Review of ANSI/NISO Z39.50-2003 (R2009), Information Retrieval: Application Service Definition & Protocol Specification This ballot is for the periodic review of the published standard ANSI/NISO Z39.50-2003 (R2009), Information Retrieval: Application Service Definition & Protocol Specification. This standard was last reviewed and reaffirmed in 2009. In accordance with NISO procedures, all review ballots are accompanied by a recommendation from the responsible leadership committee. Both the maintenance agency (Library of Congress) and NISO's Discovery to Delivery Topic Committee recommend a vote to CONVERT TO STABLIZED MAINTENANCE. Stabilized maintenance removes a standard from the requirement for five-year periodic reviews. It is used for standards that address mature technology or practices and are not likely to require a revision. The Z39.50 protocol is still supported by many systems, however, the protocol is being overtaken by web-based technologies such as the OASIS Search/Retrieve via URL standard and the newer indexed discovery services. Thus it is not expected that further developments will be made with Z39.50, but the standard needs to be retained for the foreseeable future for use with existing implementations and for reference purposes. As a member of the voting pool, you are required to vote on this ballot (one vote per organization). Please cast your ballot with one of the following voting options: YES - Approve the conversion to Stabilized Maintenance (comments optional) NO - Do not approve conversion to Stabilized Maintenance (comments required) ABSTAIN from voting (comments are required since members of the voting pool volunteered to join, so an abstention vote requires explanation) Comments and a recommendation for a vote needed by 12/17 3) Review of ANSI/NISO Z39.89-2003 (R2009), The U.S. National Z39.50 Profile for Library Applications This ballot is for the periodic review of the published standard ANSI/NISO Z39.89-2003 (R2009), The U.S. National Z39.50 Profile for Library Applications. This standard was last reviewed and reaffirmed in 2009. In accordance with NISO procedures, all review ballots are accompanied by a recommendation from the responsible leadership committee. Both the maintenance agency (Library of Congress) and NISO's Discovery to Delivery Topic Committee recommend a vote of CONVERT TO STABLIZED MAINTENANCE. Stabilized maintenance removes a standard from the requirement for five-year periodic reviews. It is used for standards that address mature technology or practices and are not likely to require a revision. Z39.89 is a US profile of the Z39.50 standard. The Z39.50 protocol is still supported by many systems, however, the protocol is being overtaken by newer web-based technologies such as the OASIS Search/Retrieve via URL standard and the newer indexed discovery services. Thus it is not expected that further developments will be made with Z39.50, but the standard needs to be retained for the foreseeable future for use with existing implementations and for reference purposes.The base Z39.50 protocol standard has also been recommended for stabilized maintenance. As a member of the voting pool, you are required to vote on this ballot (one vote per organization). Please cast your ballot with one of the following voting options: YES - Approve the conversion to Stabilized Maintenance (comments optional) NO - Do not approve conversion to Stabilized Maintenance (comments required) ABSTAIN from voting (comments are required since members of the voting pool volunteered to join, so an abstention vote requires explanation) Comments and a recommendation for a vote needed by 12/17 I have attached all relevant documents to this note. My recommendation would be that we vote Yes on all 3 items. However since I was involved with the developent of both Z39.50 and Z39.89 I don't think it is appropriate for me to make the judgement call on those 2 (or even #1) and would prefer to hear recommendations from others on the committee mark -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

December 15, 2014 ? The voting members of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) have approved four new projects to develop standards for alternative assessment metrics (altmetrics). The NISO Alternative Assessment Metrics Initiative was begun in July 2013 with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation with a goal of building trust and adoption in new methods of assessing impact. Phase 1 of the project, which was completed this summer, gathered a large array of relevant stakeholder groups to identify what areas of alternative metrics would benefit most from standards-related developments. This input was distilled into a white paper published in June 2014, which was then presented to the NISO community to prioritize the action items as possible NISO work items. Phase 2 of the project will be to develop standards or recommended practices in the prioritized areas of definitions, calculation methodologies, improvement of data quality, and use of persistent identifiers in alternative metrics. As part of each project, relevant use cases and how they apply to different stakeholder groups will be developed. ?Assessment of scholarship is a critical component of the research process, impacting everything from which projects get funded to who gains promotion and tenure, and which publications gain prominence in their fields of inquiry,? explains Martin Fenner, Technical Lead, PLOS Article Level Metrics, and Chair of the NISO Alternative Metrics Initiative Steering Committee. ?However, traditional metrics that have been primarily based on print processes are failing to keep pace with both the expanded range of research outputs produced by scholars, and the diverse usage of these research outputs in scholarly communication that is increasingly purely electronic. Altmetrics are increasingly being used and discussed as an expansion of the tools available for measuring the scholarly and social impact of research. For altmetrics to move out of its current pilot or proof-of-concept phase, we need to develop commonly used definitions and guidelines for appropriate collection and reporting of data, so that organizations who wish to utilize these metrics can adequately understand them and ensure their consistent application and meaning across the community.? ?The NISO Alternative Assessment Steering Committee will oversee several working groups that will be formed to develop the identified standards and recommended practices,? states Nettie Lagace, NISO Associate Director for Programs. ?For participation on these working groups, we are seeking interested participants from all the affected stakeholders including libraries, scholarly publishers, research funders (governmental and non-governmental), scholars, university departments of academic affairs, providers of alternative metrics data, and system providers who incorporate different elements of alternative metrics in their services.? ?We expect this initiative will continue to be broadly inclusive, with contributions from a diverse set of voices, who will be reliant on these new metrics and resulting tools,? said Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director. ?In addition to the working group members, we also will seek broader community feedback through stakeholder interest groups. In addition, draft documents will be made available for public comment and/or trial use before finalization and publication. NISO will also schedule public webinars for further discussion and training during the development process.? The approved proposal for the Phase 2 projects as well as the Phase 1 White Paper are available on the NISO website at: www.niso.org/topics/tl/altmetrics_initiative/. Anyone interested in participating on one of the initiative?s working groups should use the online contact form (www.niso.org/contact/) and indicate in which of the four activity area(s) you are interested.

Investigation by the Content and Collections Management Topic Committee revealed that the standard should be revised and updated to address issues of lignin, recycled content, and fillers; investigate further testing of how lingin affects permanence; and investigate methods to reveal compliance (re Notice of Compliance section). If revision is approved, NISO will form a Working Group to update and revise the standard. If you would like to nominate someone to participate on the Working Group (if the revision is approved), please provide a name and contact information in your comments. NISO Working Group participation is not limited to NISO members. As a member of the voting pool, you are required to vote on this ballot (one vote per organization). Please cast your ballot with one of the following voting options: YES - Approve the Revision of the standard (comments optional) NO - Do not approve the Revision of the standard (comments required) ABSTAIN from voting (comments are required since members of the voting pool volunteered to join, so an abstention vote requires explanation) 5) ISO/DIS 32000-2, Document management - Portable Document Format- Part 2: PDF 2.0 This is a liaison ballot from ISO/TC 171, Document management applications, Subcommittee SC 2, Application issues, Working Group 8, PDF for the ballot of: ISO/DIS-32000-2, Document management - Portable document format - Part 2: PDF 2.0.
