CORE: Cost of Resource Exchange
NISO Publishes Cost of Resource Exchange (CORE) Protocol as a NISO Recommended Practice
CORE protocol facilitates the transfer of cost and related financial information
Baltimore, MD - August 31, 2010 - NISO is pleased to announce the publication of its latest Recommended Practice, Cost of Resource Exchange (CORE) Protocol (NISO RP-10-2010; available from www.niso.org/publications/rp). This Recommended Practice defines an XML schema to facilitate the exchange of financial information related to the acquisition of library resources between systems, such as an ILS and an ERMS. See the full press release.
About CORE
The CORE (Cost of Resource Exchange) proposal (available here) was approved by the NISO membership as a new work item in June 2008. See the press release for more information.
If you are interested in this project and would like to be informed of its progress (as well as supply feedback on the group's work), please sign up to the COREinfo Interest Group list, at http://www.niso.org/lists/coreinfo/
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.
