Do you support the creation of a NISO-managed US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 The International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) had managed the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 - "Document description and processing languages" Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for a number off years. Last year, INCITS withdrew its support and therefore the U.S. has not been a P-member of JTC 1/SC 34. The NISO Board of Directors feels that this is an important gap in the standards leadership worldwide and has discussed taking over this responsibility. To take on this responsibility, NISO will need to form a new Technical Advisory Group to determine US positions on JTC 1/SC 34 issues, much as we have done for ISO TC46. The Scope of JTC 1/SC 34 from the ISO webpage is: "Standardization in the field of document structures, languages and related facilities for the description and processing of compound and hypermedia documents, including: languages for describing document logical structures and their support facilities languages for describing document-like objects in web environments facilities document processing architecture and formatting for logical documents facilities languages for describing interactive documents facilities multilingual font information interchange and related services facilities final-form document architecture and page information interchange facilities hypermedia document structuring language and application resources facilities API's for document processing" The portfolio of work managed by JTC 1/SC 34 includes SGML, EPUB, OpenOfficeXML, Font information interchange, Document Schema Definition Language are just a few of the 80 standards SC34 is responsible for. This is an important portfolio of work that is directly tied to a lot of the work that NISO does and the majority of our members are directly impacted by its work. 2) ISO TC 46/SC 4, ISO/FDIS 18626 (Ed 2)--Information and documentation, Interlibrary loan transactions Do you approve the technical content of the final draft? This document specifies the transactions between libraries or libraries and other agencies to handle requests for library items and the following exchange of messages. Due 10/15/2017 Disclaimer: I was on the committee that developed the original version of this standard 3) TC46/SC9 Ballot on the withdrawal of ISO/NP 15707, Information and documentation - International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC) Based on this recommendation, should TC46/SC9 withdraw the project to revise ISO 15707 and disband TC46/SC9/WG2? As discussed during the TC46/SC9 plenary meeting in Pretoria, ZA in May of this year, there has been little progress on the project to revise ISO 15707. Noting the work to improve on existing service and build new ISWC services that have been done by the RA responsible for maintaining the ISWC standards, and the stated desire of the RA to stop work on the revision, the Convenor consulted with WG2 members to discern a recommendation about next steps. After consulting with the Working Group members as instructed by TC 46/SC9, the recommendation is that the current standard is sufficient for the improved services and the revision is no longer necessary. Due 10/192017 - Note this is to disband the working group working on a revision to ISWC - if agreed to the original standard stays in effect 4) Approval of Mr. Juha Hakala as ISO/TC46/SC4 Chair Do you approve the adoption of the proposed resolution 2017/23 to appoint Mr. Juha Hakala as ISO/TC46/SC4 chairperson for a new 3 year-mandate? Do you approve the adoption of the proposed resolution 2017/23 to appoint Mr. Juha Hakala as ISO/TC46/SC4 chairperson for a new 3 year-mandate? Due 10/24/2017 - Personal comment - I know Juha and have worked with him in the past - Personally I believe he is more than qualified for this role 5) Approval of Ms. Stella Griffiths as ISO/TC46/SC9 Chair Do you approve the adoption of the proposed resolution 2017/24 to appoint Ms Stella Griffiths as ISO/TC46/SC9 chairperson for a new 3 year-mandate? This is a ballot to approve the nomination of Ms. Stella Griffiths as ISO/TC46/SC9 chairperson for a new 3 year-mandate. Due 10/24/2017 6) Call for experts wanting to participate in ISO 3166/MA Would you like to nominate an expert/experts to participate in ISO 3166/MA work? Since KEBS mandate terminates end of 2017 (JISC's and SAC's mandates terminate end of 2018) a call for P-member bodies wanting to participate in ISO 3166/MA for a two-year term being 2018-2019 is now open. According to the Terms of Reference for the maintenance of ISO 3166 it is now possible for four or more ISO/TC 46 P-members to become voting members of the MA.

The NISO Board of Directors feels that this is an important gap in the standards leadership worldwide and has discussed taking over this responsibility. To take on this responsibility, NISO will need to form a new Technical Advisory Group to determine US positions on JTC 1/SC 34 issues, much as we have done for ISO TC46. > > The Scope of JTC 1/SC 34 from the ISO webpage is: > "Standardization in the field of document structures, languages and related facilities for the description and processing of compound and hypermedia documents, including: > > languages for describing document logical structures and their support facilities languages for describing document-like objects in web environments facilities document processing architecture and formatting for logical documents facilities languages for describing interactive documents facilities multilingual font information interchange and related services facilities final-form document architecture and page information interchange facilities hypermedia document structuring language and application resources facilities API's for document processing" > > > The portfolio of work managed by JTC 1/SC 34 includes SGML, EPUB, OpenOfficeXML, Font information interchange, Document Schema Definition Language are just a few of the 80 standards SC34 is responsible for. This is an important portfolio of work that is directly tied to a lot of the work that NISO does and the majority of our members are directly impacted by its work. > > 2) ISO TC 46/SC 4, ISO/FDIS 18626 (Ed 2)--Information and documentation, Interlibrary loan transactions > > Do you approve the technical content of the final draft? > > This document specifies the transactions between libraries or libraries and other agencies to handle requests for library items and the following exchange of messages. > > Due 10/15/2017 > > Disclaimer: I was on the committee that developed the original version of this standard > > > 3) TC46/SC9 Ballot on the withdrawal of ISO/NP 15707, Information and documentation - International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC) > > Based on this recommendation, should TC46/SC9 withdraw the project to revise ISO 15707 and disband TC46/SC9/WG2? > > As discussed during the TC46/SC9 plenary meeting in Pretoria, ZA in May of this year, there has been little progress on the project to revise ISO 15707.
