This exercise was also intended to identify any cohesive themes tha
6、t run through the work of each Topic Committee to appropriately and adequately address them in the course of development of each Topic Committees respective portfolio of standards and recommended practices, and to support any need for Topic Committees to effectively collaborate. In 2016-2017, as par
7、t of the review, the Architecture Committee and Topic Committees included stakeholder input in the form of a public survey which requested information about the relative values of individual NISO publications: standards, recommended practices, technical reports, primers, and white papers. This data
8、led to a major effort of further analysis and restructuring of the Topic Committees to better ensure that they are able to appropriately address gaps in the information-standardization landscape and to include related works in the same Topic Committee portfolio. During Summer 2017, each Topic Commit
9、tee adopted a new name. Although the respective project portfolios mostly remained intact, due to updated scoping, a few projects moved to a different Topic Committee for oversight. Members of the Topic Committees and the NISO Board of Directors feel that the new names communicate more clearly the a
10、reas of work and directions for each group: 2007-2017 (“old” name) From 2017 forward Business Information Topic Committee Information Policy valuable information is in the “network”) and to the nature of the producer (small projects that produce fantastic resources and then lose funding). Increasing
11、ly, content creators are seeking to produce content that can be reformatted, repackaged, mixed with other forms, in whole or in part, for different channels. Standards for content creation can support these single-stream content creation approaches and product developments. These existing standards
12、related to file standards creation and development require ongoing maintenance of existing standards to meet changing needs of content creators, but extensions of these specifications to include a greater range of content forms is valuable. Consistent application of these structures is also vital to
13、 reuse of content, and working with the implementer communities to foster consistent use should be a priority. 10 Information Discovery and Interchange (IDI) Topic Committee Scope The Information Discovery and Interchange Topic Committee focuses on issues regarding the finding and exchange of data t
14、o optimize discovery and use of information and material. Specific topics include discovery systems, transfer of data, user experience, web services, etc. Trends and Emerging Themes and general areas of work Overarching themes, some emerging from the completed work in the IDI Topic Committees portfo
15、lio, a white paper that was commissioned by IDIs predecessor, the D2D topic committee and written by Marshall Breeding in 2015, and internal discussions within the topic committee, are: Discovery of open access and free resources The increase in open access content opens up issues and questions, suc
16、h as: Metadata quality and sharing, especially in and from institutional repositories, noting there is an overlap with the Information Creation for example, by connecting it to citations, to reviews, to information about the author, etc. Personalization: using behavior patterns of a person or a grou
17、p and other analytics to dynamically affect relevance and recommendation, and its problematic relationship with privacy The use of visualization of data and material connections in discovery Discovery and use of annotations on information resources, including papers and datasets In addition, the IDI
18、 Topic Committee recognizes that many user communities use-as their primary discovery tools-search engines and other resources that are not managed by libraries or vendors. It is important to keep this “direction” in mind when planning any future strategy that touches on any of the above areas. 13 I
19、nformation Policy this work will likely involve conducting outreach activity to identify stakeholders, impacts, and relevancy to the NISO community. NISO is very interested in any and all feedback from the community on these and other potential initiatives. Please send any comments to us via our website or via email at nisohqniso.org.
