NISO Discourse Discussion for this sessionhttps://discourse.niso.org/t/standards-that-support-diversity-equity-and-inclusion/73We're all familiar with the problems that occur when standards fail to take into account diversity — from seatbelts that don't protect women as well as they protect men, to buildings that are only accessible to those with full mobility. Information standards, likewise, fail if they aren't created by, for, and with the community that uses them. This session will look at some existing standards that support DEI, and the speakers will also discuss what more we need to do to ensure that future standards are as diverse, inclusive, and equitable as they must be to succeed.
