The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) develops and promotes technical standards used in a wide variety of information services.

NISO's goal in using technical standards in information services, libraries, and publishing is to achieve compatibility and therefore interoperability between equipment, data, practices, and procedures. Using technical standards makes information services more productive.
