The widespread use of the Internet has renewed the interest in interoperable standards and compatible information systems. Standards developed under ISO/TC 46 ?Information and documentation? aim to facilitate access to knowledge, culture and information and to help to develop appropriate automated tools, computer systems and services to disseminate the information that is curated and collated by libraries, archives, museums, publishers and other content industry participants. These standards give rules to identify, describe, index, classify, access, select, exploit, communicate, exchange and preserve, both paper-based and digital information. Standardization in the field of information and documentation impacts various professional communities and industries. Standards for paper-based information evolve to meet the changing requirements for retention, dissemination, marketing, sales, archiving and digitization. Digital-born information changes rapidly along with the technology that produces and distributes it. These trends are reflected in the expertise of and the work undertaken within TC 46 sub-committees. Einformation is increasingly networked and sought on systems using a variety of formats and storage media. The different methods, formats and media through which information is accessed and transferred cannot be considered in isolation but must address system-wide interoperability. TC 46 standards focus on issues faced by libraries, archival institutions, information centres, museums and the commercial supply chain in discovering, describing, preserving, storing and analyzing information whether that content is textual, graphical, audio, video or multimedia based. Getting the information about a resource (metadata) correct is critical for navigating repositories, maximizing discoverability and optimizing marketing and revenue opportunities. TC 46 standards also affect organizations, content industries, and media production. These standards are used widely by people who look for a book or search for an article, by students in information science, by linguists and translators, by archivists, by indexing and abstracting services, by discovery tools, by retailers and aggregators.

"My work on content markup has shown me how important it is to users and consumers of information technology for standards to get it right. Involvement in conferences and educational events, too, has brought home that collaboration is essential, and collaboration among developers and users of new resources is central to NISO's work. The stability in NISO's current board facilitates continued teamwork; the tasks ahead are challenging, but I foresee our working groups producing groundbreaking results that are essential to our audience." > > B.

I look forward to working on upcoming projects on, for example, data privacy, that impact a diverse set of users and that urgently need addressing." Shillum also commented that, "as a veteran board member, I've seen how NISO has achieved consensus on contentious issues in the past. Such problems are interesting and vital to tackle, and many face us going forward. In addition, standards and other documents issued by NISO are regularly reassessed, and the coming years will see familiar standards getting a fresh look, a process in which it's rewarding to participate." > > Chris Shillum is Vice President Product Management, Platform and Data Integration at Reed Elsevier, a position he has held since 2014.

The purpose of this ballot is to get a consensus of the circulation of the draft as a DIS? This international standard specifies the International Library Item Identifier which is used for the unique identification of items held by a library and related organization. Library and related organization here refers to an organization under the scope of ISO 15511 Information and documentation ? International standard identifier for libraries and related organizations (ISIL). Items here refer to materials identified and managed by a concerned organization and processed for services. Digital objects which the organization holds only access rights (e.g., Electronic journals) are excluded from the definition of items in this context. The purpose of this identifier is to provide uniform representation of the library item in a system which is used among libraries or in a system which interacts with other systems. Examples of such system(s) include interlibrary loan and shared print agreements. Your voting options are: Yes - approve the circulation of the draft as a DIS Yes with comments - approve the circulation of the draft as a DIS but have comments (comments required) No - do not approve of the circulation of the draft as a DIS (comments are required and should be substantive) We abstain from voting Comments and a recommendation for a vote needed by July 7, 2016 2) Approval of Proposed New Work Item: Recommended Practice for Enhancing KBART for Automated Exchange of Title Lists and Library Holdings Do you approve of a Proposed New Work Item: Recommended Practice for Enhancing KBART for Automated Exchange of Title Lists and Library Holdings This ballot is to approve a proposed new work item on the development of a Recommended Practice for Enhancing KBART for Automated Exchange of Title Lists and Library Holdings. 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. KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools) was initially developed to improve OpenURL linking by providing a consistent message format for exchanging title lists/package contents between publishers & content providers and knowledge base vendors. This group will update and extend the KBART Phase II recommended practice to support individual library holdings of electronic products and to automate the request and retrieval of KBART reports for title lists and library holdings. The proposal was approved by the Discovery to Delivery Topic Committee on May 23, 2016, 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 Comments and a recommendation for a vote needed by July 14, 2016 3) Approval of Proposed New Work Item: Recommended Practice on E-Book Bibliographic Metadata Requirements in the Sale, Publication, Discovery, Delivery, and Preservation Supply Chain Do you approve of a Proposed New Work Item: Recommended Practice on E-Book Bibliographic Metadata Requirements in the Sale, Publication, Discovery, Delivery, and Preservation Supply Chain This ballot is to approve a proposed new work item on the development of a Recommended Practice on E-Book Bibliographic Metadata Requirements in the Sale, Publication, Discovery, Delivery, and Preservation Supply Chain Members have thirty (30) days to vote on the work item. Your vote options are: Yes (approve the project), No (do not approve theproject), 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. The e-book publication space is still young, with publishing models and content models evolving day-to-day. Publishers, libraries, aggregators, preservation agencies, collection management systems and discovery services are working through the complexity of selling and buying e-books, making information about e-books available to end users, making the actual books available to end users, and preserving them. One particularly difficult area for many members of this supply chain is receiving and working with quality e-book metadata. This working group will describe the minimal metadata requirements necessary to describe e-books in order to support sales, discovery, delivery, deaccessioning, and preservation. It will identify the most effective and efficient way for metadata to be moved through the entire supply chain, and address several practical issues in metadata sharing across stakeholders. This working group will focus on descriptive metadata and identifiers for e-books (including monographic series) and will not address the encoding and transmission of rights information. The proposal was approved by the Content and Collections Management Topic Committee on May 20, 2016, 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 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Before casting our vote I thought i should send out this comment (which comes from Elsevier) to get people?s thoughts on it and wether you agree with it and thus think we should also vote NO I need any comments by noon on 6/29/2016 Mark From needleman_mark at yahoo.com Wed Jun 29 14:00:03 2016 From: needleman_mark at yahoo.com (Mark Needleman) Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:00:03 -0400 Subject: [Asis-standards] ISO votes Message-ID: <53D53DA9-4159-4210-9040-14E5C0E7F846@yahoo.com> Folks since there was no reaction to my email about the NO vote that Elsevier case on the TC46/SC10 Business plan - I just cast the following vote Voted YES on ISO/TC46/SC10 - N158/ISO/TC46 Business Plan 2016 Since there were no volunteers suggested I also cast the following vote Decided not to nominate anyone to serve on ISO/TC 46/SC11N1619 - Call for expert(s) WG17 Mark From tdickey1 at kent.edu Thu Jun 30 08:27:01 2016 From: tdickey1 at kent.edu (TIMOTHY DICKEY) Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 08:27:01 -0400 Subject: [Asis-standards] Upcoming votes In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: 1) TC46 Business plan - YES 2) 3901 Music Recording International Standard Number - YES WITH COMMENTS AT BEST... I have to confess to being torn here. I believe that application of a standard can greatly improve the operations of different entities in this field, but fear that the standard as presented here does not address in adequate detail the complexities of constituent parts within longer musical "works." Appendix A.1.9 states that, "A recording whose parts can be exploited separately may be assigned an ISRC as a whole and its components may also be assigned an ISRC." and offers as a simple example a recording of a Beethoven symphony recording which has one ISRC assigned for the complete performance and four separate identifiers in addition for the four movements. However, I would hope to see more guidance as to the recommendations about use cases for assignments, considering the different needs of communities of practice this would affect: a recording industry which in different cases (live vs. studio recordings) may have different definitions of a "complete" recording session; library & information system users who have different needs to identify the complete set of movements or an excerpt as the "work" desired; broadcasters, streaming, and copyright entities (SoundExchange most prominently) who specify only the track excerpt as the unit of recording. 3) WG17 experts - NO nominations Timothy J.

The main problem that I see is that of bibliographic relationships: how to visualize and express the different possible networks of textual (conceptual) works, and their different manifestations in print or digital form. Annex E offers models for some of the different networks of relationships, but has to admit in its opening that the models are "not normative," and that "in some cases, it is possible to choose between two alternative structures." In the Anglo-American library world, the theoretical model of FRBR and its practical application in the cataloging standards of RDA have tried to clarify these kinds of relationships, but the models in Annex E offer only partial and non-normative adherence to the library bibliographic model. I believe that the ISTC can be applied within the U.S. cataloging world, but that there may not be enough benefit to achieve buy-in. In addition, the publishing world tends to operate (I believe) along subtly different models of relationships, with the physical manifestation being much more important to systems applications, even when considering copyright. Here, too, I am not convinced that the community would use the new standard number authority. With that, I do doubt the standard would be used widely in the U. S. as written. Since the vote is on the other hand for a revision to include text-groups as a new refinement based on industry responses, I would ABSTAIN - quite possibly a worthwhile project, but I do not have an expert whom I can nominate at this time.

Appendix A.1.9 states that, "A recording whose parts can be exploited separately may be assigned an ISRC as a whole and its components may also be assigned an ISRC." and offers as a simple example a recording of a Beethoven symphony recording which has one ISRC assigned for the complete performance and four separate identifiers in addition for the four movements. However, ASIST would hope to see more guidance as to the recommendations about use cases for assignments, considering the different needs of communities of practice this would affect: a recording industry which in different cases (live vs. studio recordings) may have different definitions of a "complete" recording session; library & information system users who have different needs to identify the complete set of movements or an excerpt as the "work" desired; broadcasters, streaming, and copyright entities (SoundExchange most prominently) who specify only the track excerpt as the unit of recording Comments provided by Timothy Dickey Note: the International DOI Foundation voted NO on this - with the following comment: (if there is agreement we have until tonight to change our vote) The International DOI Foundation (IDF) is surprised that this Draft International Standard is so very far removed from the plan set out in the approved New Work Item Proposal. The NWIP promised a reliable and robust system with the ability to resolve all valid identifiers and identified the absence of a mandatory registry as a major shortcoming in the 2001 standard. The draft under ballot continues to allow users to assign their own codes with no control over assignment of multiple codes to the same recording or, worse, assignment of the same code to multiple recordings. It provides no guarantee that accurate data about identified recordings will be available globally or that any privately provisioned data will remain accessible. IDF endorses the best practice ?Principles of Identification? published by the Linked Content Coalition and notes that the DIS falls short in a number of areas. IDF opposes the adoption of this DIS and recommends that a further draft be developed along the lines of that provided with the NWIP. To do this, the Working Group should be reconstituted with a more representative membership including music service providers, which are notably absent at present. If the decision of the US National Body is to approve the offered DIS, the IDF recommends an immediate further revision of the standard with the same objective and with the same revised Working Group membership. IDF may offer its own proposals in this or associated areas Mark
