NISO/DLF Workshop: May 10 in Chicago

On May 10, 2002 NISO and the Digital Library Federation will co-sponsor a half-day pre-standardization workshop to examine standards needed to facilitate the management of electronic resources. The workshop will be held in Chicago at the Wyndham Hotel. The workshop is free to all NISO members and DLF Sponsors. Advance registration is required.

Why this Workshop?
Libraries (particularly academic libraries) are investing major portions of their acquisitions dollars in electronic information resources. As these electronic collections grow they are becoming increasingly difficult to manage and few existing library management systems provide tools to address contract management, umbrella subscriptions, and license terms. Some libraries are investing in local development of control databases, while others are waiting for vendor-supplied solutions.

At this relatively early stage NISO and DLF want to begin the process of developing a standard set of data definitions and common XML schema, encompassing names, definitions, and semantic relationships for elements related to identification, access and licensing of these resources.

Who should attend:
ILS vendor staff, staff involved in electronic resource management and collection development, serials subscription vendors and intermediaries.

The Workshop has been planned by Priscilla Caplan (Chair of the NISO SDC) and Tim Jewell (University of Washington), who maintains a web-hub for sharing e-resource management metadata:
