This seems to have escaped mention here when when it was announced on 4/8:
The National Information Standards Organization has been asked to undertake the development of a national standard to facilitate the exchange of serials subscription information . . .
Information aggregators, publishers, third party service providers, and libraries engage in a number of recurring business-to-business transactions requiring the exchange of serial subscription information. At this time there is no standard to facilitate this information exchange. This survey will explore the needs for serials subscription information exchange, the formats now being used and views on the need for and usefulness of a national standard for serials subscription information exchange . . .
Here\’s the entire press release.
