PRISM 2.0 Specifications
In 1999, IDEAlliance founded the PRISM Working Group to address emerging publisher requirements to utilize standardized metadata to facilitate content management, aggregation, and search.Since that time, the PRISM metadata framework has been broadly implemented by both magazine and journal publishers.PRISM 2.0 is the first major revision in the specification since its initial release in 2001.This major revision addresses new requirements for publishers and media companies to deliver content in an online and multimedia environment, as well as in print.
