Z39.95-200x, Cost of Resource Exchange (CORE) Protocol
Trial Use Period: April 1, 2009 - March 31, 2010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use was developed by the CORE Working Group and approved by the Business Information Topic Committee

(3/31/09).

About the Trial Use Period
Comments: All comments will be reviewed regularly by the CORE Working Group, and all comments will be reviewed, responded to, and made public at the end of the Trial Use period. Comments can be submitted online; sent directly to NISO, the Working Group, or the Topic Committee; or sent to the CORE Interest Group Discussion List.

Participant Expectations
Trial participants will be asked to implement the CORE protocol in their own organization (or with another trial implementer), participate in a discussion list during the trial to share experiences, and provide feedback on any needed changes to the protocol prior to final issuance of the standard. The Working Group will be available during the trial to provide guidance and answer questions.

Working Group Expectations
The CORE Working Group has made its best efforts at identifying a compact yet useful structure for query and delivery of relevant acquisitions data.  Until our efforts are tested and validated by implementers and the marketplace, our job is not complete.  We expect that, as implementation and trial work begins, flaws will be identified – that is the goal of a Draft Standard Trial.  We stand ready to address any flaws, errors, or omissions that arise, with the goal being a more perfect CORE standard.
