A number of potential work items were identified during the course of the NISO Bibliographic Roadmap Project [http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/document.php?document_id=13327&wg_abbrev=ccm]. This document proposes establishing three Working Groups to consider different areas for further exploration: Vocabulary Use & Reuse; Vocabulary Documentation; and Vocabulary Preservation, in order to better support exchange and interoperability of bibliographic data. Following Draft Standard review and subsequent NISO Voting Member ballot, if approved, a Maintenance Agency or Standing Committee will be appointed for future review and maintenance of the Standard(s). The proposal was approved by the Content and Collections Management Topic Committee on November 14, 2014, 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. All those who express interest will be added to the Standards for Bibliographic Data Exchange Voting Pool. Members can join the Voting Pool at any time up until the final ballot at the end of the project. Comments and a recommendation for a vote needed by 1/22/2015 I would think some folks might be interested in this and also interesting in serving on the working group if this project is approved 2) Call for Experts to revise the WARC standard (ISO 28500) This is a ballot to identify one or more US experts to work on the revision of the standard ISO 28500, Information and documentation -- WARC file format. The WARC (Web ARChive) file format offers a convention for concatenating multiple resource records (data objects), each consisting of a set of simple text headers and an arbitrary data block into one long file. In the systematic review of this standard last year, the TC46/SC4 members (including the US) voted to revise this standard. The Call for Experts document is available for download from the ballot webpage and the announcement email. As noted in that document, "An ideal nominee should have practical experience in Web harvesting and the use of WARC." If you would like to nominate an expert, please include the individual's name and full contact information in the comments of your vote. Please be sure the named individual has agreed to work on this project prior to nominating him/her. Your voting options are: YES - I have an expert to nominate (comments required - name and contact info of nominee) NO - I do not have an expert to nominate ABSTAIN from voting If anyone is interested in serving on this committee ler me know by 1/25 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The SUSHI standard defines an automated request and response model for the harvesting of electronic resource usage data utilizing a Web services framework that can replace the user-mediated collection of usage data reports. It was designed as a generalized protocol extensible to a variety of usage reports. An extension designed specifically to work with COUNTER reports is provided. This new version of the SUSHI standard extends the filter support to allow multiple filters and/or report attributes to be included in the SUSHI Request. Use of these filters and attributes is optional, making the new version backwards compatible with the previous one. Additional documentation supporting SUSHI implementation has been updated including SUSHI schemas, COUNTER schemas, sample reports, selected SUSHI Harvesters tools, and the Server Registry. "The SUSHI standard was created with the notion of filters; however, the only filter originally provided for was that of the date range for the report," explains Oliver Pesch, Chief Product Strategist, EBSCO Information Services, and Co-chair of the SUSHI Standing Committee. "With use, a number of cases have surfaced where additional filters and other report attributes would be beneficial. The revised standard allows, for example, filtering by a particular platform for harvesting when a given SUSHI server provides usage for multiple platforms, or specifying that a report exclude items with zero usage to keep the report size smaller." "Both the core SUSHI schema and the COUNTER-SUSHI schema have been updated to version 1.7 of SUSHI to match the revised standard," states Marie Kennedy, Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian, Loyola Marymount University, and Co-chair of the SUSHI Standing Committee. "The SUSHI Standing Committee is also responsible for updating COUNTER-related schemas; the COUNTER-SUSHI schema, the COUNTER schema, and the COUNTER data element values have been updated to support COUNTER Release 4.1. Additionally, the SUSHI website has new sample reports in COUNTER Release 4 formats, updates to some of the SUSHI Harvester tools to allow the user to select "4" as the COUNTER Release, and Server Registry updates to display known COUNTER 4 support." "SUSHI has become a widely adopted NISO standard, but continuous maintenance is required to keep it up to date," said Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director. "The SUSHI Standing Committee actively maintains the standard to address any reported implementation issues or new COUNTER Releases, and to consider feature suggestions. This latest revision is an excellent example of how the Standing Committee has updated the standard to provide requested functionality." The revised SUSHI standard and extensive supporting tools and documentation are available on the NISO SUSHI website at: www.niso.org/workrooms/sushi/ Cynthia Hodgson Technical Editor / Consultant National Information Standards Organization chodgson at niso.org 301-654-2512 From MNeedleman at flvc.org Fri Jan 23 07:40:16 2015 From: MNeedleman at flvc.org (Mark Needleman) Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:40:16 +0000 Subject: [Asis-standards] 2 votes Message-ID: Hearing no comments or objections - I just cast the following 2 votes NISO Approval of Proposed Work Item, Bibliographic Roadmap Projects - Affirmative ISO Call for Experts to revise the WARC standard (ISO 28500) - Do not Have any experts to recommend if anyone has any comments or objections (or wishes to serve on the WARC revision committee - or know of someone who would be willing) we have until tonight to change our vote on the NISO Bibliographic Road Map and until 1/26 to recommend someone for the WARC revision committee mark From MNeedleman at flvc.org Fri Jan 23 08:16:33 2015 From: MNeedleman at flvc.org (Mark Needleman) Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 13:16:33 +0000 Subject: [Asis-standards] 2 upcoming votes Message-ID: Folks 2 more votes are upcoming - but not until February but I just wanted to give people time to review them - relevant documents attached Mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) ISO/DIS 30302, Information and documentation - Management systems for records - Guidelines for implementation This will be one of the foundational standards of the Management Systems for Records (MSR) series. It provides practical guidance on how to implement a management system for records (MSR) within an organization in accordance with ISO 30301, which defines the "requirements" for an MSR. This Standard does not modify and/or reduce the requirements specified in ISO 30301. It describes the activities to be undertaken when designing and implementing a MSR. It is applicable to all types of organization (e.g. commercial enterprises, government agencies, non-profit organizations) of all sizes. If this standard receives sufficient approval votes, it may proceed directly to publication. Your voting options are: YES - approve the publication of this standard (comments are optional and are generally editorial in nature) NO - do not approve the publication of this standard as is (comments are required and should be substantive) ABSTAIN from voting (comments optional) Comments and recommendation for a vote needed by 2/10/2015 ( personally I don't have strong feeling about this but others may care) 2) ISO/DIS 7098, Information and documentation - Romanization of Chinese This is a TC46 ballot for the standard ISO/DIS 7098, Information and documentation - Romanization of Chinese. This will become the third version of the standard that explains the principles of the Romanization of Modern Chinese Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese). Also included as a reference document are the comments and comment resolutions from the previous Committee Draft version. There were a number of comments, including from the US, on that version and many of them were accepted. This comment resolution document will indicate what changes were made in this DIS revision. If this draft receives sufficient approval, it will go directly to publication. If after the ballot, further substantive changes are needed then an FDIS ballot could be issued for approval prior to publication. Your voting options are: YES - approve for publication (comments are optional and should be editorial in nature) NO - do not approve (comments are required and should be substantive) ABSTAIN from voting (comments are optional) Comments and a recommendation for a vote needed by 2/15/2015 ( although Ive been to China Im not qualified to comment on this - my gut feeeling Is we should vote YES but others with more knowledge may have other views -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
