[Asis-standards] New ISO Work item

[Mark Needleman]

Folks

there is a new ISO work item:

Approval of ISO New work item proposal: Data Exchange Protocol for Interoperability and Preservation

This is a new work item proposal from TC46/SC4 to develop a new standard on Data Exchange Protocol for Interoperability and Preservation.

The intent is a standardized framework for the various information exchanges (data and its metadata) between repositories and their partners. Interchanges between several repositories (repositories integrated in organizations, public repositories, storage service suppliers) will also be considered.

The complete new work item proposal is available from the ballot webpage and the link in the announcement email. It includes a working draft of the proposed standard, which you are encouraged to comment on.

If the US votes to approve this as a new project, we are expected to name at least one expert who will work on this standard's development. If you would like to nominate someone, please include the name and contact information in your comments. Please obtain that person's agreement in advance to work on this project.

We are also required to provide a justification statement for why we think this is or is not a worthwhile/useful project (depending on whether we vote yes or no). Please provide such a statement in the comments for your Affirmative or Negative vote.

Your voting options are:
Affirmative - approve this as a new project (comments required on justification statement; nominate expert(s) if you have one; comments on the working draft are encouraged but optional)

Negative - do not approve this as a new project (comments required on why)

Abstain from voting (comments optional)

I have attached the relevant document (which includes both the proposal and a draft of the proposed standard) to this note

I need commentd ans a recommendation for a vote by April 26 and if you agree with the proposal and wish to server on the committee (or nominate someone) I need a name and contact info

FYI - currently there are 2 Negative votes and 10 Abstain votes  - so far noone has voted Affirmative
