Managing an Increasingly Complex and Interconnected World of Content

Location: Las Vegas, NV, LVCC - N231-233

Event Description

The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) and Book Industry
Study Group (BISG) have again partnered to explore how these trends impact
publishing, libraries, and technology standards in the 8th Annual Changing
Standards Landscape Forum. This year's event will focus on Managing an
Increasingly Complex and Interconnected World of Content.

Digital content creation, distribution, and access is a worldwide endeavor
that is much more complex than printing and shipping physical books or
journals. Identification, description, file formats, purchasing models, and
measurement have all been transformed by the trends of globalization and
digitization of content distribution. For each of these trends, the role of
standards in making these processes more efficient is a critical element and
something all publishers and librarians should follow closely. Both
communities have a lot to learn from each other regarding how standards work
undertaken in the publishing community affects libraries and vice-versa.
