Work has been under way since May 2008 to revise and extend the
International standards for thesauri, ISO 2788 and ISO 5964. The content
of these two standards, plus a lot more material needed to support
interoperability, will be combined in a new standard ISO 25964, as follows:
ISO 25964. Thesauri and interoperability with other vocabularies
Part 1: Thesauri for information retrieval
Part 2: Interoperability with other vocabularies
The work is managed by a Working Group known as ISO TC46/SC9/WG8, which
has participants from 13 countries and is led by Stella Dextre Clarke of
the UK. The Secretariat is provided by NISO (USA). See official website
at http://www.niso.org/workrooms/iso25964 . The existing British Standard
BS 8723 (published in 5 parts during 2005-2008) is being used as a basis
for the international work.
A draft of Part 1 of ISO 25964, which will have the number ISO DIS
25964-1, is scheduled for release in the last quarter of 2009, when it
will be available for public comment. To obtain a copy, ask the national
standards body in your country.
Until DIS 25964-1 is issued, the most recent published news is in the
ASIS&T Bulletin, at
