Voted APPROVE on ISO/FDIS 28560-1, RFID in LIBraries – Part 1: Data Elements and General Guidelines for Implementation
Description:
This document specifies a model for the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for items appropriate for the needs of all types of libraries, including national, academic, public, corporate, special, and school.
It provides a framework to ensure interoperability between libraries that exchange library items with RFID tags and specifies a set of data elements and general guidelines for implementation.
Voted YES on approval of NISO Z39.106-202x PRT: Peer Review Terminology as a US National Standard
Description:
The Peer Review Terminology (PRT) document identifies and standardizes definitions and terminology in peer review practices in order to help align nomenclature as more publishers use open peer review models. A peer review terminology that is used across publishers will help make the peer review process for articles and journals more transparent, and will enable the community to better assess and compare peer review practices between different journals.
Description:
This document provides a data model and encoding rules for the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for items appropriate for the needs of all types of libraries (including national, academic, public, corporate, special, and school libraries).
This document specifies the rules for encoding
1) a subset of data elements taken from the total set of data elements listed in ISO 28560-1 into a basic block, and other data elements into extension blocks onto the RFID tag.

Vote TES with Comments on NISO Z39.103-202x Standards-Specific Ontology Standard
Description:
The Standards-Specific Ontology Standard (SSOS) provides a high-level generic ontology which describes the life cycle of consensus-based standardization projects and published standardization deliverables, i.e., standards. Developers, publishers, distributors, and users of standards, including national standards bodies, regional and international standards bodies, standards development organizations, and business, can use SSOS to better structure the life cycle information of their own standards or to better structure and automatically analyze and compare development stages of standardization activities and the life cycle of standards publications.
Comments:
In the Section “3.9 General Terms and Definitions” of this NISO Z39.103-202X, SSOS: Standards-Specific Ontology Standard, the definitions for ‘taxonomy’, ‘thesaurus’ and ‘ontology’ need to be updated, not just ‘controlled vocabularies”. The first two cited ANSI/NISO Z39.19-2005 R2010. The 3rd one is not officially defined and really need to be updated.
Please consult the ISO 25964-2:2013, align with the Terms and Definitions. E.g., a thesaurus should not be just ‘controlled vocabulary’, but also ‘structured vocabulary’. [1]
[1]
3.86 thesaurus
controlled (3.19) and structured vocabulary (3.74) in which concepts (3.17) are represented by terms
(3.84), organized so that relationships between concepts (3.17) are made explicit, and preferred terms
(3.62) are accompanied by lead-in entries for synonyms (3.78) or quasi-synonyms (3.64)
NOTE The purpose of a thesaurus is to guide both the indexer and the searcher to select the same preferred term or
combination of preferred terms to represent a given subject. For this reason a thesaurus is optimized for human
navigability and terminological coverage of a domain.

Voted CONFIRM with Comments on Systematic Review – ISO 27730, Information and documentation – International standard collection identifier (ISCI)
Description:
This International Standard establishes the specifications for the International Standard Collection Identifier (ISCI) as a unique international identification system for each collection, fonds and (archival) series, and part(s) of collections, fonds and series. This International Standard establishes the specificaitons for the structure of an identifier and promotes the use of the identifier with regard to identifying systems taht already exist. It also gives a list of recommended metadata elements that describe a collection.
This International Standard does not specify the description of collections, fonds and series, nor the relationships between collections and sub-collections.
The ISCI is intended for use by organizations that manage collections of cultural materials.
Comments:
metadata issue: section 5.2.2 lists dcmitype:Collection as the element match for Type; dcmitype:Collection is actually a class, not an element. The element here is dc:type, while the value is dcmitype:Collection)

Voted CONFIRM on Systematic Review – ISO 27729, Information and documentation – International standard name identifier (ISNI)
Description:
This International Standard specifies the International Standard name identifier (ISNI) for the identification of public identities of parties, i.e. the identities used publicly by parties involved throughout the media content industries in the creation, production, management and content distribution chains.
The ISNI system uniquely identifies public identities across multiple fields of creative activity and provides a tool for disambiguating public identities that might otherwise be confused.
The ISNI is not intended to provide direct access to comprehensive information about a public identity but can provide links to other systems where such information is held.
