National Information Standards Organization SIP 3 Standards Development Status Report June 2013 1
Brief SIP History Originally developed by 3M in mid 1990s for self-checkout devices Although owned by 3M, widespread use for other related applications (authentication, print management, self checkout, etc.) SIP2 released in 2006 introduced new messages and additional functions ILS (and other vendors) adopted SIP2 but needed to write local (non-standard) enhancements and extensions for particular applications (notably, item-based payments) 2
SIP3 initiative 3M began early discussion on SIP3 as early as 2007-2008 Early 3M draft was used as working document by 3M- based working group; input from library industry, 2011- 2012 Summer 2012 3M donates SIP to NISO for formal standards process and future development Summer-Fall 2012: NISO organizes SIP3 Working Group to move SIP3 through standardization process 3
SIP3 Working Group John Bodfish, OCLC co-chair Ted Koppel, Auto-Graphics co-chair Approx. 11 active members, several less-than-active members Includes: Biblionix Bibliotecha Ceridwen Envisionware Ex Libris Polaris TLC 4
SIP3 Working Group Activity Goals Protocol Document Corrections, Omissions, Additions, resolve ambiguities Create Implementers Guide, scope notes, application hints Privacy issues Information sharing between partners, particularly cross-borders Plan for and recommend maintenance agency and update/enhancement process SIP3 and relationship to NCIP 5
Status report October 2012 Began meeting, set agenda November-December 2012 Assembled lists of known errors/omissions/ambiguities. Identified approx. 75, split between errors in the 3M draft documentation and errors/inconsistencies in the actual protocol January 2013 Resolved almost all of the documentation issues and about 1/3 of protocol issues (low-hanging fruit) 6
Status Report 2 January 2013-present Currently Addressing more difficult issues Strawman documents to lay out possible solutions Sometimes required subcommittees to address Recent examples Require HTTPS? How to deal with multiple languages client server? Dealing with SIP2 limitations (field size on 63/64 message, for example, for consortia) 7
NCIP and SIP3 Exact relationship will eventually require NCIP and SIP3 joint meetings General guidelines as of now: SIP3 will generally be pointed to intra-library applications NCIP will generally be pointed at inter-library (and external to the library) applications Complementary toolset and messages Idea is that developer will pick the best tool for the job 8
Working group Currently meets bi-weekly Subcommittees as needed Planned completion: End of Year 2013 or earlier 9
