Information and documentation — RFID in libraries — Part 1: Data elements and general guidelines for implementation

ISO 28560-1:2014 specifies a model for the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for items appropriate for the needs of all types of libraries, including academic, public, corporate, special, and school.
ISO 28560-1:2014 provides the framework to ensure interoperability between libraries that exchange library items with RFID tags, the freedom of the library to acquire or renew equipment or library items from different vendors, and interoperability of a single RFID application from the vendor's perspective.
ISO 28560-1:2014 specifies a set of data elements and general guidelines for implementation, to meet the needs for:
circulation of library items;
acquisition of library items;
interlibrary loan processes;
data requirements of publishers, printers, and other suppliers of library items;
inventory and stock checking of items.
ISO 28560-1:2014 gives guidelines for item security, profiles, privacy, implementation, migration, label design, and location of the RFID label.
ISO 28560-1:2014 specifies the data model, system data elements, and user data elements to be used in conjunction with ISO 28560‑2, ISO 28560‑3, and any future parts of ISO 28560.

Introduction
Libraries are implementing radio frequency identification (RFID) as item identification to replace
bar codes. RFID streamlines applications like user self-service, security, and materials handling. This
standard data model for encoding information on RFID tags increases the cost-effectiveness of the
technology within libraries, particularly through greater interoperability of RFID tags and equipment,
and enhance support for resource sharing between libraries.
This document deals with data elements and provides general guidelines for implementation. Other
parts of the ISO 28560 series describe encodings and choice of frequency.
Communication between the RFID reader and the library system (or other applications) is handled by,
[12] [13]
for example, SIP-2 and NCIP .
This document provides essential standards-based information about RFID in libraries. Ongoing advice
needs to be provided because of the evolving nature of RFID technology and the opportunities to
migrate between different types of legacy system and encoding rules of this document.

Information and documentation — RFID in libraries —
Part 1:
Data elements and general guidelines for implementation
1 Scope
This document specifies a model for the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for items
appropriate for the needs of all types of libraries, including national, academic, public, corporate,
special, and school.
It provides the framework to ensure interoperability between libraries that exchange library items with
RFID tags, the freedom of the library to acquire or renew equipment or library items from different
vendors, and interoperability of a single RFID application from the vendor's perspective.
This document specifies a set of data elements and general guidelines for implementation, to meet the
needs for:
— circulation of library items;
— acquisition of library items;
— interlibrary loan processes;
— data requirements of publishers, printers, and other suppliers of library items;
— inventory and stock checking of items.
This document gives guidelines for item security, profiles, privacy, implementation, migration, label
design, and location of the RFID label. It specifies the data model, system data elements, and user
data elements to be used in conjunction with ISO 28560-2, ISO 28560-3, and any future parts of the
ISO 28560 series.
A source of additional information about implementation issues is provided in Annex A.

3.1
distributor
wholesaler that purchases products from manufacturers and sells them to retailers or other wholesalers
Note 1 to entry: In the context of this document, a distributor is a wholesaler that purchases library materials
such as books or audiovisual materials from publishers and sells them to libraries or retailers.
3.2
interlibrary loan
ILL
service where a library borrows an item (3.3) from another library
3.3
item
unit tracked in a library system
Note 1 to entry: An item, which can be a set (3.7), can be loanable or non-circulating, but is always loaned in its
entirety.
3.4
jobber
specialized distributor (3.1) of library items (3.3) that provides services such as the attachment of
labelling and electronic information to items to make them ready for immediate shelving upon arrival
at the destination library
3.5
library management system
enterprise resource planning system for a library, used to track items owned, items loaned, orders
made, bills paid, and patrons
Note 1 to entry: In some countries, this is known as an integrated library system.
3.6
part
individual physical entity included in an item (3.3)
Note 1 to entry: A part can be a library material or a container for the library materials in a set (3.7).
3.7
set
item (3.3) consisting of a number of parts, all identified by the same item identifier and loaned in one
transaction as a unit
3.8
supply chain
series of entities, typically beginning with a publisher and ending with a library, through which library
materials flow as they are acquired by that library
4 User data elements
4.1 Overview of user data elements
Libraries can choose which data elements they want to store on the tag. It is unlikely that a library
places all the listed data elements on the tag. A number of data elements are reserved for local use. They
should be ignored where the processing institution is not the owner of the item (as in ILL).

4.2 Use of user data elements
4.2.1 Primary item identifier
The library's unique identification of an item shall be used as the primary item identifier. This data
element is required for circulation. It can be absent in the acquisition process.
The primary item identifier can be, but need not be, equivalent to the (former) bar code. It can be
decided at a local or national level if the identifier should be unique outside the library and how this is
to be achieved.
Annex B illustrates how the primary item identifier can be combined with other data to achieve
increasing levels of uniqueness, ultimately global uniqueness.
4.2.2 Content parameter
The content parameter data element specifies the structure of the tag data. The parameter can
have different forms for the various possible encoding methodologies specified in other parts of the
ISO 28560 series.
4.2.3 Owner institution (ISIL)
The owner institution (ISIL) data element is used for the ISIL code for the institution that owns the item.
The ISIL code shall be as defined

Introduction
Libraries are implementing radio frequency identification (RFID) as item identification to replace bar
codes. RFID streamlines applications like user self-service, security, and materials handling. This
standard data model for encoding information on RFID tags increases the cost-effectiveness of the
technology within libraries, particularly through greater interoperability of RFID tags and equipment,
and enhance support for resource sharing between libraries.
This part of ISO 28560 document deals with data elements and provides general guidelines for
implementation. Other parts of the ISO 28560 series describe encodings and choice of frequency.
Communication between the RFID reader and the library system (or other applications) is handled by,
[12] [13]
for example, SIP-2 and NCIP (see Bibliography). .
This document provides essential standards-based information about RFID in libraries. Ongoing advice
needs to be provided because of the evolving nature of RFID technology and the opportunities to
migrate between different types of legacy system and encoding rules of this document.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 28560-1:2023(E)


Part 1:
Information and documentation — RFID in libraries — Part 1:
Data elements and general guidelines for implementation
1 Scope
This document specifies a model for the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for items
appropriate for the needs of all types of libraries, including national, academic, public, corporate,
special, and school.
This part of ISO 28560It provides the framework to ensure interoperability between libraries that
exchange library items with RFID tags, the freedom of the library to acquire or renew equipment or
library items from different vendors, and interoperability of a single RFID application from the vendor's
perspective.
This part of ISO 28560document specifies a set of data elements and general guidelines for
implementation, to meet the needs for:
— circulation of library items;
— acquisition of library items;
— interlibrary loan processes;
— data requirements of publishers, printers, and other suppliers of library items;
— inventory and stock checking of items.
This part of ISO 28560document gives guidelines for item security, profiles, privacy, implementation,
migration, label design, and location of the RFID label.
This part of ISO 28560 It specifies the data model, system data elements, and user data elements to be
used in conjunction with ISO 28560-2, ISO 28560-3, and any future parts of the ISO 28560 series.
A source of additional information about implementation issues is provided in Annex A.
