4.3: Other Standards Bodies
Review relations with other standards bodies Other Information:
The production, management, and exchange of trusted research and learning information with which NISO is centrally concerned
is itself dependent upon the deployment of standards in other parts of the information landscape that are governed by other
agencies, for example, by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), or the IMS Global
Learning Consortium. The evolving complexity of the information landscape and the extent and variety of stakeholders acting
upon it also requires that NISO be able to work across the entire standards life cycle, though not necessarily with every
standard. Communities of information providers are increasingly emerging to define, create, or maintain standards that are
specifically relevant to their constituents. NISO needs to work with these communities, leveraging distinctive strengths and
applying respective efforts in ways that are complementary and mutually beneficial. In many cases, NISO is likely to find
itself maturing or maintaining standards developed by others, and/or locating responsibility for maintaining standards developed
by NISO in third-party organizations.
