Good morning, Mark, 

I would tend to give a weak YES for the Archives Stats proposal (weaker than
my yes on the previous library one); no suggestions for experts to make,
though. On the ISLI, perhaps I am missing something, but I'm not seeing the
need for this standard beyond current protocols. I'd at least abstain. 

All best,
timothy

2 new ISO standards (actually 1 standard and 1 new work item) are up for a
vote in mid January

1) ISO/DIS 17316, Information and documentation - International standard
link identifier (ISLI)

This International Standard specifies an identifier of links between
entities in the field of information and documentation. These entities may
be media resources, people or more abstract items such as times or places.
The ISLI system identifies links between entities that are related to each
other so that, for instance, they can be rendered simultaneously. It does
this by registering each identifier with information (metadata) that
specifies the link. The ISLI does not change the content, ownership, right
of access or existing identification of these entities.

If this draft is approved by more than 2/3 of the international members, it
can proceed directly to publication. If it is not approved or the Working
Group decides to make substantive changes based on comments received, an
FDIS ballot may be issued.



2)  New Work Item Proposal TC46/ SC8/N429, Information and documentation -
International archives statistics

This is a new work item proposal from TC46/SC8 to develop a new standard for
Information and documentation - International archives statistics.

The proposed standard for archive statistics aims at standardizing the
terminology, definitions, and data collection for
all types of resources that archives collect and all services that they
offer. A special issue of the proposed International Standard should be the
growing sector of electronic services offered by archives (e.g. digitized
finding aids and collections).

Included with this ballot are two documents: 1) the new work item proposal;
2) the purpose and justification. These documents are available for download
from the ballot webpage and the links in the announcement e-mail.

If the US sends in an Approve vote for this new project, we are required to
also provide comments on the "market need" for this standard and to nominate
at least one expert to the working group. If you vote Yes, please provide
your comments on the "market need". If you wish to nominate an expert,
please include the name and contact information in your comments. You may
nominate yourself or someone else. If you nominate someone else, please get
their agreement to be on this Working Group before you nominate them.

I have attached the relevant documents to this message. I need comments and
a recommendation for a vote by January 15,2014 - for the New Work Item if
you would like to participate or know of someone who would be a good
candidate please send me their name and contact info

Happy New Year

Mark
