[Asis-standards] Upcoming votes

[Mark Needleman]

Folks

The following votes are coming due:

1) N924, ISO TC 46/SC 9 ISO WD 20247, Information and documentation — International library item identifier (ILII)

This international standard specifies the International Library Item Identifier (ILII) which is used for the unique identification of items held by libraries and related organizations. Library and related organization here refers to an organization within 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. Digital objects to which the organization holds only access rights (e.g., electronic journals) are excluded from the definition of items in this context.

The purpose of ILII is to facilitate unique identification of library items when information about them is shared among library applications. Examples of such system(s) include interlibrary loan and shared print agreements.

Vote and Comments due 3/8/2017 (I believe I’ve already sent this out to you


2) SHORT-TURN-AROUND BALLOT: ISO TC 46 SC 10, ISO/TR 19814 - Information and documentation - Collections management for archives and libraries

SO/TR 19814 Management of collections in archives and libraries provides guidance and recommendations to plan, implement, maintain and improve preservation of archive and library collections through: 
— recommendations and guidance for preservation planning and ongoing management of physical collections in archives and libraries;
— procedures for managing collections in the stacks, research and reading rooms, conservation facilities, and while on exhibit and during transportation.
— guidance and recommendations for appropriate enclosures and containers for archive and library collections.

TR 19814 applies to preservation of archive and library physical collections of institutions and volumes small and large. It applies to all collections housed by an institution; their own collections and deposits or loans from other institutions. Some information on digital collections born digital and digitised for conservation is included for reference.'

TR 19814 also applies to collections that are being managed by governmental agencies.

This guidance is intended for collections that are being preserved for long-term use.

Collections intended for long-term use need to be managed to mitigate many risks that can cause loss, including catastrophic loss from fire and floods, risks of vandalism and theft, to instability of materials, including acetate film and acidic paper. Collections management addresses the risks from a holistic perspective. It is recognised that compromises are necessary based on, among other factors, the quantity of collections in archives and libraries. The compromises can be managed when the factors of use, significance, vulnerability of the collections and the expertise and best practices from several fields are included in the decision-making process.

TR 19814 covers specifically the operations required to manage the collections environment that are relevant to the preservation policy and plan of the institution. This includes the monitoring of climate stability, control of exposure to light, preventive cleanliness measures and cleaning of the collections storage areas.

The conservation treatment of individual items within the collections is not covered in TR 19814.

3) Approval of Proposed New Work Item: Recommended Practice for Improving Resource Access in the 21st Century (Short Title: RA21)

This ballot is to approve a proposed new work item on the development of a Recommended Practice for for Improving Resource Access in the 21st Century.

The primary output of this project will be to explore and recommend new infrastructure service(s) that will streamline content access protocols across the information distribution community, in order to provide a more seamless user experience for consumers of subscribed content.  Further goals are to offer greater manageability of network activity by improving the granularity of usage statistics, investigating potential alternatives to Internet Protocol (IP) address authentication, and building momentum toward testing and implementation of these alternatives in the community of publishers, system vendors, aggregators, intermediaries and libraries.  

If the project is approved, the working group would generate and support pilot tests of SAML-based authentication technologies involving the publishing and academic library communities; author a joint NISO-STM Recommended Practice on implementing one or more SAML-based approaches to providing access to subscribed content; build one or more proof-of-concept services; and deliver promotional and education plans for further adoption by the broader publishing and academic community.
