This might be of interest to this group. The standard linked here is for Collection Identifiers not "item" identifiers that are proposed for the GUID. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- P.

From: <zavalina@uiuc.edu> Date: July 24, 2007 11:50:28 AM CDT To: mdrt@mail.lis.uiuc.edu Subject: [Mdrt] metadata roundtable tomorrow, Wednesday, July 25th

Dear metadata roundtable members,

Tomorrow, July 25th, Richard Urban will be leading MDRT discussion on draft standard for International Standard Collection Identifiers (ISCI), which will establish a unique identifier for each archival collection and fond. You can access the draft at <http:// www.niso.org/pdfs/ISO_NP_27730ISCIandWD.pdf>.

The meeting will take place from 12:30 to 2:00 pm at ISRL Commons on the third floor of GSLIS building.

The continuation of the DCMI abstract model discussion started last week (audio available at http://waterfall.lis.uiuc.edu/dl/classes/ mdrt/metadataRoundtable071807.ram)is tentatively scheduled for the second half of August, once everyone is back from summer vacations.

Have a great week and hope that you will come and participate in ISCI discussion.

Sincerely, Oksana Zavalina Research assistant IMLS Digital Collections and Content project _______________________________________________ Mdrt mailing list Mdrt@mail.lis.uiuc.edu https://mail.lis.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/mdrt
