National Information Standards Organization - NISO
http://www.niso.org/

Information is the key ingredient for success in business and scholarship today and standards are the foundation of all information systems. Technical standards provide the infrastructure that makes information systems and databases less expensive to develop, easier to use, and universal in value.

NISO, the National Information Standards Organization, a non-profit association accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), identifies, develops, maintains, and publishes technical standards to manage information in our changing and ever-more digital environment. NISO standards apply both traditional and new technologies to the full range of information-related needs, including retrieval, re-purposing, storage, metadata, and preservation.

A NISO standard developed through consensus, identifies model methods, materials, or practices for libraries, bibliographic and information services, and publishers. NISO is the only standards organization that makes its standards available freely on the web. For a complete listing of NISDO Standards click here.
