[Asis-standards] Approval of Proposed Work Item, Standardization of ISOSTS

[Mark Needleman]

A New Work Item from NISO

This ballot is to approve a proposed new work item to standardize "ISOSTS," a specific tag set used for standards publishing, and link it officially to JATS (ANSI/NISO Z39.96-2012 JATS: Journal Article Tag Suite), a widely used specification which defines a set of XML elements and attributes for tagging journal articles and describes several article models.

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 Group (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.

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 Content and Collections Management Topic Committee on June 26, 2015, 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 ISOSTS Voting Pool. Members can join the Voting Pool at any time up until the final ballot at the end of the project

Draft docment attached - any thoughts on this - Need suggestions by July 30
