4.1: Development and Deployment

Rapid development and deployment of information standards

Other Information:

This change forces fundamental reconsideration of the very deliberate process of standards creation that worked so well for NISO and its members in the past. NISO must emerge as a nimble organization able quickly and effectively to identify, define, and support adoption of key information standards. In the past, Standard Development Organizations (SDO) were chartered at the national level and worked through well-defined processes to progress standards from national to an international level. NISO is very much a traditional SDO. The standards world of today is populated by a growing variety of non-traditional organizations like specialized standard setting consortia, ad hoc groups that spring up to create a single standard, and other groups like open source consortia. The increasing range of standards organizations is matched by an increasing array of standards formats and processes.
