Following approval by NISO voting members on two new
proposals for
Institutional Identifiers and Knowledge Bases and Related
Tools (KBART),
NISO is in the process of forming the two working groups
described
below. Anyone interested in becoming a member of either the
working
group or a review group should contact Karen Wetzel
(kwetzel niso.org)
by January 31, 2007.
Institutional Identifiers – This project will build on work
from the
Journal Supply Chain Efficiency Improvement Pilot
(http://www.journal
supplychain.com/), which demonstrated the improved
efficiencies of using an institutional identifier in the
journal supply
chain. The NISO working group will develop a standard for an
institutional identifier that can be implemented in all
library and
publishing environments. The standard will include
definition of the
metadata required to be collected with the identifier and
what uses can
be made of that metadata. For more information view the
press release
at: http://www.niso.org/news/releases/pr-instid-1-08.html
Knowledge Base and Related Tools (KBART) – Cosponsored by
the UK Serials
Group, this working group will develop a Recommended
Practice for the
interactions of parties in the creation of, provision of
data to, and
implementation of OpenURL knowledge bases in the supply
chain, including
link resolver vendors, ERM system suppliers, publishers,
libraries and
library consortia, subscription agents, and aggregators. For
