ISO/TC 46 50th anniversary

ISO7TC 46 is to celebrate its 50th year

during a Plenary meeting at British

Standards Institution (BSI) headquarters in

London, 12-16 May 1997.

ISG7TC46 Information and

Documentation is a Technical Committee

of the International Organization for

Standard- ization (ISO) and produces

International Standards for use in

Librarianship, Information and Document

Management and Publishing. Currently

there are 33 participating and 30 observer

countries and some 60 liaison members.

The work of ISO/TC46 covers well

known features of books as well as

production standards. Here are some

examples:

Readers of books and serials worldwide

will be familiar with the international

standard book and serial numbers (ISBN

and ISSN) often found barcoded on the

covers

Developers and users of many systems

and applications world wide with a need

to specify different countries will be

familiar with the 2 and 3 character country

codes found in ISO 3166.

For at least two decades, libraries have

taken advantage of ISO 2709, a format for

bibliographic interchange, implemented in

the MARC format in use worldwide

Beter known to indexers are the standards

for thesauri, document referencing, and of

course the new indexing standard ISO 999.

For the future, ISO/TC 46 has been

actively looking at the need for standards

in the management of the information to

be found on the World Wide Web, and is

exploring ways to help those who wish to

keep track of Intellectual Property Rights.
