Remarks
Attribute Values: The values shown in the Suggested Usage below do not align perfectly with ISO IEC Guide: Standardization and Related Activities — General Vocabulary, and they also may not fit all circumstances for individual standards organizations. Since the value of this attribute is an open list, a wide variety of current practices can accommodated. No preferred values will be indicated in this NISO STS version, and individual standards organizations are free to decide which of these values are synonymous for them. For example, in a multiply adopted standard, NISO STS will not require all the parties to the adoption to use the same values.
