The first PRISM Specification (1.0) was published in 2001.  Initially the scope of PRISM was metadata for print-based periodicals. Several revisions and were  published.  PRISM 2.0 was published in 2008. This was the first major revision to PRISM and the scope of PRISM was expanded to include both print and online periodical content.  In addition PRISM 2.0 added a metadata set to describe Usage Rights.  And with the new additions to the specification, it was modularized.
