Eamonn-
Do you have a summary of activity

whats going on there.

Ballot-OpenURL, Z39.88-200X
* * * I am pleased to transmit for
ballot the final text of the OpenURL standard, ANSI/NISO Z39.88-200X. The
ballot period is: January 26, 2004-March 10, 2004.
The OpenURL
standard is a syntax to create web-transportable packages of metadata and/or
identifiers about an information object. Part 1 of the Standard introduces
the ContextObject; Part 2 lists the initial content of the Registry to
support implementation of the standard.
As you begin your review of
the document please take time to read the Foreword as important background
information is provided.
In February NISO will host a conference
call-briefing session on this standard. As soon as the date and time are set
you will receive a meeting announcement. Please send me any questions that
come up in your review of the standard; your questions and early feedback
will help frame the agenda for the briefing.
NISO standards represent
a consensus built on the dedicated efforts of skilled, knowledgeable, and
very hard working members of our community. Reaching the ballot stage
is an important benchmark in the standards development cycle; thanks and
congratulations to the members of Standards Committee AX for their
achievement:
