Hi,
I cannot answer this question directly but in researching mpeg-21 for
Persistent Identifiers/ Content models. I found that the current list of
freely (publicly) available standards can be accessed from
http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/fetch/2000/2489/Ittf_Home/Publicl
yAvailableStandards.htm .
I don't know what the process is that gets them to be made public. There
appear to be certain vested interests particularly in MPEG-21 ISO-21000
as not all parts have been made public however that standard certainly
overlaps with METS /MODS et al. I think ISO-21000 will become of greater
significance and it might even be easier to integrate PREMIS into
MPEG-21 DIDL than METS see
http://arxiv.org/ftp/cs/papers/0509/0509084.pdf
As PREMIS is attempting to address long-term issues I think it should be
explored how to make PREMIS a publicly available ISO standard before
another community suffering from NIHS decides to create a competitor.

Subject: Re: [PIG] PREMIS and ISO
Hi,
does anyone know more about the contracts of ISO regarding newer
versions or developments of standards? Do followup reports have to be
published through ISO? And is there a possible Open Access/Postprint
model for such standards?
I don't know which differences occured in the OAIS standard since the
publication of the Blue Book. Had anyone the possibility to look into
the ISO-version to compare the two versions?
