Generalising the ILL Policy Directory Information Model

A team of librarians from the National Library of Australia, led by Judith Pearce, has the task of revising ISO 2146: Information and documentation -- Directories of libraries and related organizations. They have proposed that a generalised form of the IPIG Directory Services for Interlibrary Loan would provide a robust core for the full directory, and are suggesting a limited number of structural changes to the IPIG directory to provide the core for the full directory.
