The NIST Office of Weights and Measures (OWM) hosts a series of Information Hours, or "Info Hours," that feature insights on topics relevant to legal metrology and documentary standards through an informal technical discussion and Question and Answer forum. In this week's session, NIST OWM’s Isabel Chavez Baucom provides an update on OWM’s efforts to transition NIST publications into SMART standards.
By the end of this presentation, viewers should be able to analyze the value of SMART standards; define SMART Levels 2 and 3; navigate multi-format NIST publications including PDF, HTML, ePUB, and DAISY XML; evaluate the workflow transitions from Microsoft Word to XML; and apply lessons learned from pilot projects.
