NISO Identifies Emerging Trends and Strategic Directions for Future Standards Work

Baltimore, MD - January 12, 2015 - The Architecture Committee of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has issued a NISO Strategic Directions document that identifies the trends and emerging themes that will direct the future development portfolios of standards and recommended practices. In 2007, NISO created a new governance structure and, as part of this restructuring, implemented the NISO Framework, an overarching model and roadmap for NISO's standards work. Seven years later, NISO continues to structure the standards portfolio around the core areas of Content and Collection Management, Business Information, and Discovery and Delivery—with a Topic Committee providing leadership for each area. The Architecture Committee determines overall strategic vision for NISO's work, oversees the work of the Topic Committees, and addresses any overlapping areas. The 2015 Strategic Directions document reflects a review by the Topic Committees of their current and recent portfolios, and a discussion of potential future activities where NISO should be involved in the development of new standards and recommended practices.
