CORE
The CORE (Cost of Resource Exchange) proposal (available here) has been approved by the NISO membership as a new work item. See the press release for more information.
NISO is currently soliciting nominations for Chair and for participants for the CORE working group. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else from your organization to be a member of the working group, or if you would like to join the affiliated interest group (which will help review and provide feedback on the group's work), please contact Karen Wetzel (kwetzel@niso.org). NISO membership is not required for working group participation.The purpose of this specification is to facilitate the transfer of cost
and related financial information from an Integrated Library System (ILS)
Acquisitions module (the source) to an Electronic Resource Management System
(ERMS) (the requestor). The population of ERMS financial data from the ILS
Acquisitions system makes cost-per-click and other cost-related reports in
the ERMS all the more possible. Note that the CORE standard should not be
seen as limited to ILS->ERMS data exchange; any two business applications
could make use of this format for simple and efficient data
exchange.
