NISO Annual Members Meeting and Standards Update

Webinar

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our annual members meeting will look a bit different this year. We usually hold an in-person meeting at the ALA Annual Conference, but since that has been cancelled, we are inviting you to attend the annual meeting virtually instead. The NISO Annual Members Meeting and Standards Update will take place via Zoom on Friday, June 26, from 11am - 12.30pm EDT/4pm - 5.30pm BST. You will hear from our Executive Director, Todd Carpenter, and other NISO staff about important organizational issues, including our strategic planning process for 2020-2022, the completion of the NISO/NFAIS merger, the inaugural NISO Plus conference, our organizational finances, and our standards program plans for the coming year. The meeting is also a chance for you to share your own feedback about NISO and our work, and to ask us any questions you have about our organization and how we operate. 

Following the Members Meeting portion of the session, Working Group members and NISO staff will provide updates on several NISO projects:

Post-Event Update: We have added the answers to two questions received during the event, to the E-Book Metadata section below.  If you asked a question during the event and do not see it on this page, please contact us. Thank you.

Have you also considered ISSNs for book series?

We have a section in the draft where we discussed monographic series at length. 
Please read it and let us know if we need to include anything else that relates to ISSN, in the way you think is best to use it. 
BTW, BITS has a field for ISSN under <collection-meta> that is recommended for series.

Can you give a brief overview of the validation and quality assurance recommendations within the standard, beyond just proper formatting of each element?

We don't make any recommendations regarding validation because that is handled by the individual standards. The quality assurance recommendations are disbursed throughout the recommended practice, and are based on consideration of the proper authority for the data element and the practical issues affecting accurate transmission of the authoritative information, and the replacement of preliminary titles etc. with the final metadata from the publisher. Most of the quality assurance discussion occurs in the General Recommendations for each element.
