Resolution 49 - JTC 1 Representation to the Standards Registry Committee

JTC 1:

· Notes the Standards Metadata Specification (Document JTC 1 N 6877-2) developed by the Standards Registry Committee that is currently under review by Consortia and Fora (See document JTC 1 N 6877-3)

· Expresses its interest in the formalization of the Standards Metadata Specification as an ISO/IEC standard

· Assigns this potential work Item to SC 32 and encourages it to pursue whatever is the most appropriate approach for standardization. However, SC 32 will not be expected to populate and maintain the registry.

· Assigns Francois Coallier as its initial representative on this Committee until SC 32 appoints its own representative.

· Expresses its interest in providing a hosting site for an implementation of the Standards Metadata Specification for ICT standards through its Citation Analysis Rapporteur work and instructs the Citation Rapporteur to work with JTC 1’s representative on this committee to explore, and implement if feasible.

Unanimous

Sub Committee (SC) 32, chaired by Bruce Barmeyer, will hold its plenary meeting in at the end of January 2003. The Standards Metadata Specification will be discussed at this meeting.

The SC32 web site is at http://192.101.105.61/sc32/jtc1sc32.nsf

Frank Farance is the Citation Analysis Rapporteur. He has already set up an infrastructure that can be used to host an ICT Standard Registry. What would be needed is an administrative infrastructure to manage the content.
