Draft Standards for Trial Use (DSFTU)
The following draft standards are currently available for trial use. The managing working groups encourage feedback and comments during this trial phase in order to inform development and future revisions prior to formal publication.Draft Standards for Trial Use allow implementers to test the standard. At the end of the trial period the standard may be balloted, revised or withdrawn.
Z39.95-200x, Cost of Resource Exchange (CORE) Protocol
This draft standard was developed by the CORE Working Group, under the purview of the Business Information Topic Committee.
Abstract: CORE defines an XML schema to facilitate the exchange of financial information related to the acquisition of library resources between systems. The two systems may be within the same organization, e.g., an ILS and an ERMS, or from two different organizations, e.g., a subscription agent and a library.

Collection Description Specification
http://www.niso.org/workrooms/mi/Z39-91-DSFTU.pdf
Abstract: This draft standard defines a means of
describing collections, where a collection is defined as an aggregation
of terms. The draft standard takes the form of a Dublin Core
Application Profile, a specification of how metadata terms from the
Dublin Core metadata vocabularies and from other metadata vocabularies,
some constructed for use in association with this Dublin Core
association profile, are used to construct a description of a
collection, in accordance with the DCMI Abstract Model. It also
specifies an XML binding for serializing such descriptions for
interchange between applications.
