With support from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has launched a Working Group to produce the third edition of A Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections. The Framework establishes principles for creating, managing, and preserving digital collections, digital objects, metadata, and projects. It also provides links to relevant standards that support the principles and additional resources.
The third edition of the Framework will not only bring it up-to-date, but will also improve coverage of non-text formats, international initiatives, digital preservation, Web 2.0 concepts, and several other areas of interest," explained Priscilla Caplan, Assistant Director for Digital Library Services at the Florida Center for Library Automation. Caplan will serve as Chair of the Committee that also includes Grace Agnew, Rutgers University; Murtha Bacca, ArtStor; Tony Gill, Center for Jewish History; Carl Fleischhauer, Library of Congress; Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, The Catholic University of America; and Christie Stephenson, American Museum.
