Re: Standards - on the net or for sale?

[Curtis Emerson]

Anyone know if this project is still active?

   NIST and the American National Standards Institute have signed a
   cooperative agreement to jointly lead the effort to develop the
   National Standards Systems Network. The NSSN eventually will link the
   databases of hundreds of U.S. organizations involved in the
   development, production, distribution and use of technical standards.
   When operational in five years, the NSSN will provide cataloging,
   indexing, searching and routing capabilities to end users allowing
   access to the entire range of regional, national and international
   standards. The NSSN is expected to reduce significantly standards
   development time and costs; minimize duplication between government
   and private-sector standards; increase dissemination of standards data
   to small businesses and increase involvement in national and
   international standards activities. Funding for the NSSN project is
   through a grant from the Technology Reinvestment Project. For more
