NISO Standards NISO standards are available at no cost because of the organizations that support NISO as Voting Members or are members of NISO's Library Standards Alliance. You are invited to join us! By supporting NISO you ensure that the standards process stays strong and is responsive to your needs. All NISO standards undergo a review and maintenance cycle. If a standard does not require revision it is Reaffirmed. For example, "R2001" following Z39.2 indicates that Z39.2 was Reaffirmed in 2001. When a standard is revised it is balloted and approved by the NISO Members and the approval year is added to the designation. For example, ANSI/NISO Z39.7-2004 was last approved in 2004. Related international standards are noted. ISO standards can be purchased in hardcopy or electronic form from Techstreet. ANSI/NISO Z39.2 - 1994 (R2001) Information Interchange Format Related international standard: ISO 2709 Abstract: The basis for the MARC (Machine-Readable Catalog) record, this standard specifies the requirements for a generalized interchange format that can be used for the communication of records in any media. 12 pp. ISBN: 1-880124-08-4 Price: $45

How can standards help students to learn better? What do critics of standards have to say? What are academic standards? What are these statements? What do they mean? Standards describe the goals of schooling, the destinations at which students should arrive at the end of the unit or term. For example, most standards expect students graduating from high school to be able to write for different audiences in different formats things such as reports, instructions, literary criticism, and persuasive and reflective essays and to demonstrate a command of standard written English. Note that the standard doesn't prescribe how to get the students to this destination that is determined by the curriculum. Standards do not prescribe any particular curriculum: National standards don't mean that local ability to choose teaching materials and methods are compromised. Standards indicate what students should know and should be able to do at grade 4, grade 8, grade 12. The teacher can choose whatever curriculum he or she finds appropriate to help the students meet the standards.

Internet standards are developed by group of organisations which operate under the auspices of the Internet Society (ISOC). The IETF is responsible for creating, testing, and implementing the Internet standards that make the Internet possible. The IESG considers those standards in consultation with the IAB. The standard specifications documents are included in the Request For Comments (RFC) document series, which is managed, edited, and published by the RFC Editor. The Internet also relies on several other types of technical standards, developed by a range of other organisations. For example, the Internet makes extensive use of the telecommunications infrastructure standards developed by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU); hardware standards developed by bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); and software standards, such as those developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Information about standards and de-facto standards Information about standards General standards information Official standard: When an officially recognized standards-making organization successfully ballots a candidate document, it becomes an official standard. Industry standard: If an industry consortium develops a standard, the published document becomes an industry standard. De facto standard: When the industry widely accepts and uses a method, a tool, a hardware implementation, or a protocol, it becomes a de facto standard. The status of standard can change ofer years. Sometimes, a company or an organization submits an industry or de facto standard to an official standards-making organization. The organization makes necessary modifications, and the standard then becomes an official standard. Official standards-making organizations are international organizations, national organizations, and industry consortia. National organizations, such as the IEEE and the EIA in the United States, develop their own standards and frequently submit them for international adoption. Some standardization organizations almost never develop their own standards, but just ballots candidate documents. Most engineers must adhere to standards while designing products and systems, but relatively few engineers are involved in developing them. A few standards-making organizations allow individual membership, but most allow only corporate membership.
