Hi, is there an ftp site that holds a list of OSI and related standards?

... and/or an on-line catalogue?


Why do I ask? 

... well, we are an R & D organization in the area of OSI.  We
receive the working documents from OSI / JTC1 / SC21, SC18 and SC6. (Some of
you will know how bulky this is.)  

Our problem is that we want to know what ISs, DISs, CDs, amendments, 
defect reports, etc, we have, where they are filed and also to be able to
do the usual things like keyword searches on our standards catalogue. 
... and we want to add books and other resources to our catalogue.

P.S.:   How have other people tackled this problem?  (We are thinking of using
bib/tib to begin with, hopefully importing a public domain list as a
starting point.)

Thanks
Jane

It would be really great if someone could compile a free on-line list
of current OSI standards! The CCR list and the notes in the ISO bulletin
might perhaps be an adequate sources for this list. Please make it
parseable (e.g. BibTeX or SGML).

If anyone can tell me where I can find up-to-date information on the
status (DP/DIS/IS etc.), of each ISO standard, I could add it to my
current list (in SGML) of ISO/CCITT/ECMA standards and acronyms.

Anyone sure whether publishing such a list is ok legally?

Great!!! I received the following information about the "ISO bulletin",
which might be of help for your efforts from David Gay for the FAQ:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

     - what is the ISO bulletin

It is a publication of the ISO Central Secretariat. Each issue contains:

- A number of articles on various ISO standardisation issues. For example,
the September bulletin has 3 articles on 'Paints and Varnishes', one on
the need for standards in advanced ceramics, another on 'ISO 4270,
Essential oils - Nomenclature', and (to bring the subject back to OSI) one
on 'ISO/IEC 8831, Information Technology - OSI - Job transfer and
manipulation concepts and services (JTM)'.

- A summary of standardisation activities: the September issue lists,
for the 15 July to August 13 period, all the standards published or
withdrawn, the DISs circulated, the CDs registerd, etc. It also has
a calendar of all upcoming ISO meetings.

     - where can I get it

You get it from your 'national member body', or the ISO Secretariat
in Geneva if there isn't one. The price is fixed by each member body.
You can get more information from:

Promotion and Press Department
Case Postale 56
CH-1211 Geneve 20
Switzerland

     - who might be interested in the ISO bulletin

Presumably anybody who is participating in or following an ISO standard ...
(the current state of standardisation activities is obviously what is
most interesting).

YES! I don't know any country in which a list of products produced by a
company is protected by copyright if this list has not been compiled
by this company. There should be absolutely no problem, but you could
ask at the ISO address given above if you want to be 100% sure.
