Subject: NISO and TC46/SC4
Lisa remarked that NISO has a registry project. I don't find anything specifically about it at the NISO site, but here's some of what I did find: http://www.niso.org/tc46sc4.html ISO/TC46/SC4 HOME PAGE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TC 46 - Information and Documentation SC 4 - Computer Applications Technical Committee 46/Subcommittee 4 (TC46/SC4) is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Subcommittee responsible for technical standards used to facilitate interoperability of information services such as libraries, information centers, indexing and abstracting services, archives, and publishers. These technical standards include standards for information retrieval and interlibrary loan, applications of SGML, data elements directories, data formats, character sets, codes and user commands. http://www.niso.org/sc4act.html#wg7 says: SC 4/WG 7 - Data Elements Area of work: Standardization of data elements and the type and content of messages required for use in documentation. Next Meeting: Week of May 10, 2000, Berlin, Germany Completed standards: ISO 8459-1, ISO 8459-2, ISO 8459-3, ISO 8459-4 Convener: Janifer Gatenby 41 Rue Molitor 75016 Paris France Telephone: 33-1-46-51-39-28 Internet: janifer@compuserve.com http://www.niso.org/sc4stand.html says in part: Data element directories: ISO 8459-1:1988 - Bibliographic data element directory Part 1: Interloan applications ISO 8459-2:1992 - Bibliographic data element directory Part 2: Acquisitions applications ISO 8459-3:1994 - Bibliographic data element directory Part 3: Information retrieval applications ISO 8459-4:1998 - Bibliographic data element directory Part 4: Circulation applications ISO CD 8459-5 - Bibliographic data element directory Part 5: Data elements for the exchange of cataloguing and metadata http://www.niso.org/sc4ma-ra.html says in part: TC46/SC4 Maintenance Agencies and Registration Authorities -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several ISO/TC46/SC4 standards require a Maintenance Agency (MA) or Registration Authority (RA). An MA assists in updating the standard and will monitor implementation. An RA is tasked to register objects defined in the standard. The organizations in these roles are approved by the ISO Technical Management Board. Formats and protocols: ISO 10160:1997 - Open Systems Interconnection Interlibrary Loan Application Service Definition ISO 10161-1:1997 - Open Systems Interconnection Interlibrary Loan Application Protocol Specification Part 1: Protocol specification ISO 10161-2:1997 - Open Systems Interconnection Interlibrary Loan Application Protocol Specification Part 2: PICS Proforma These standards are supported by a Maintenance Agency that also has Registration Authority for objects defined in the standards: ILL Application Standards Maintenance Agency Information Analysis and Standards Division Information Technology Service National Library of Canada Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N4 Canada Telephone number: +819-994-6969 Fax number: +819-994-6835 The Web site for this standard created and maintained by the MA/RA can be found at: http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/iso/ill/ which is of some interest, but I have no time to plumb it. Looking around I find that 10161 has been withdrawn (I think that's right) and that's there's a precis of 8459 at http://www.diffuse.org/classify.html#ISO8459 which shows that this standard is the definition of the data elements and their use, not of a data element standard per se (I would expect them to be using 11179 for that, but can't find 8459 online). regards, Terry
