1) ISO/DIS 2108, Information and documentation – International Standard Book Number (ISBN)


This is a TC46/SC9/WG4 ballot for ISO/DIS 2108, Information and documentation – International Standard Book Number (ISBN).

The purpose of this International Standard is to establish the specifications for the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) as a unique international identification system for each product form or edition of a separately available monographic publication published or produced by a specific publisher that is available to the public. It specifies the construction of an ISBN, the rules for its assignment and use, the metadata to be associated with the ISBN allocation, and the administration of the ISBN system.

This International Standard is applicable to monographic publications (books) not to textual works (content). Monographic publications include individual sections or chapters where these are made separately available and certain types of related products that are available to the public irrespective of whether those publications are made available for sale or on a gratis basis. Examples of applicable and non-applicable products are provided in Annex A.

NOTE: More detailed, operational guidance is provided in the latest version of the Users’ Manual available from the Registration Authority for this International Standard (see Clause 7).

If this draft standard receives sufficient approval, it can proceed directly to publication. If it is either not approved, or the Working Group decides to make substantive changes based on ballot comments, an FDIS version may be balloted.

Your voting options are:

Yes - approve the standard for publication (comments are optional and should generally be editorial in nature; if substantive comments are provided, you are approving the standard even if those changes are not made)

No - do not approve the standard for publication (comments are required and should be substantive)

Abstain from voting (comments are optional)

Comments needed by 1/28/2016 (it looks like this version removes support for 10 digit isbn’s - we need to read it in more detail to see what provision it makes for existing ones)

2)  Periodic Review: ANSI/NISO Z39.29-2005 (R2010) Bibliographic References


This ballot is for the periodic review of the published standard ANSI/NISO Z39.29-2005 (R2010) Bibliographic References. This standard was last reviewed and reaffirmed in 2010. A copy of the Z39.29 standard is available for download from the ballot webpage or the link in the announcement email.

In accordance with NISO procedures, all review ballots are accompanied by a recommendation from the responsible leadership committee. NISO's Content and Collection Management Topic Committee recommends a vote to REVISE the standard. Please see further notes below.

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) 

Notes:
The standard was reaffirmed in 2010 with some open questions and comments from members of the community. Since that time additional questions have arisen. It was noted that the standard is contrary to cataloging rules (e.g. capitalization of titles) and in other areas provides guidance which leads to confusion for users (e.g. medium designator). There are sections in the standard which are in conflict with current accepted best practices (e.g. primary author). In addition there are some areas omitted which should be considered, such as versioning of articles and consideration of an expanded list of media types. There is general opinion that the standard should more effectively address Location within a Work, with special focus on electronic documents. Finally, the standard currently calls for placement of DOI in the Notes field as a unique identifier; however, the DOI also serves the purpose of location or availability. Therefore, the Notes field may not be the best field for the DOI. 

The Content and Collection Management Topic Committee feels these concerns and others not referenced here support a recommendation to review and revise Z39.29. In addition, there remains the open question about the discrepancies between the ISO version of the standard for bibliographic references (ISO 690) and the NISO version

Comments needed by 1/29/2016
