The standard can accommodate existing national library identification systems. Significance of the ISIL: For the first time we will have an agreed-upon international identification system for libraries Voting members are encouraged to review the standard and send comments (if any) to [log in to unmask] by September 27, 2002. *CD 21127, A Reference Ontology for the Interchange of Cultural Heritage Information was developed by TC46/SC4/WG9 chaired by Nick Crofts. The standard is based on the framework drafted by CIDOC the international organization focusing on the information and IT needs of museums. Tony Gill at RLG was the U.S. expert contributing to this standard. Significance of this standard: It provides a framework for the exchange of information about museum holdings and provides the basis for interoperability in the cultural heritage community. Voting members are encouraged to review the standard and send comments (if any) to [log in to unmask] by November 1. The ISIL and the Reference Ontology are on the NISO website at this url: http://www.niso.org/international/SC4/sc4docs.html -- ************************************ Pat Harris Executive Director National Information Standards Organization (NISO) 4733 Bethesda Avenue, Suite 300 Bethesda, MD 20814 USA T: 301-654-2512 Mobile: 202-258-3296 Fax: 301-654-1721 Email: [log in to unmask] url: http://www.niso.org -- ============================================================== NINCH-Announce is an announcement listserv, produced by the National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage (NINCH).
