Hello Web4lib,
I wanted to let you know that documentation is available for a new standard that would be like an integration of the ISBN, DNS registration, Dublin Core & LCSH. The patent application has been published by the USPTO and is available at:
http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=%2220060116992%22.PGNR.&OS=DN/20060116992&RS=DN/20060116992
ISEN has some basic presentations and an article is forthcoming in Serials Librarian. One of the key components is a balance between human and autmoted tools for assigning numbers and cataloging metadata about search environments as opportunities for librarians.
I would enjoy your thoughts about some ideas and documents on at http://blog.isen.org
I hope that ISEN will provide a foundation that librarians can uncover for Internet researchers.
Thank you for your time. Feel free to contact me with questions or comments.
Highest Regards,
Matt
