From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO standard
ISO 2146
is an
ISO standard
defining an
information model
for "registry services for
libraries
and related organisations".
[1]
Operating at a higher level than item-level standards such as
MARC
, it takes as principal elements
parties
(people or organisations),
collections
(of books,
data
, etc.),
services
and
activities
(grants, projects, etc.)
The first edition of ISO 2146 was published in 1972,
[2]
as "Directories of libraries,
information
and
documentation centres
"; the second edition was published in 1988.
[3]
The third edition was initially driven by the need to support
interlibrary loan
services online, but it has been broadened in scope to encompass the rules for registries operating in a network environment to provide the information about collections, parties, activities and services needed by libraries and related organizations to
manage their collections
and deliver information and documentation services across a range of applications and domains.
The third edition reached publication stage in March 2010.
