NISO Publishes Revised SUSHI Standard and Supporting Documentation
New filters and report attributes add to the SUSHI protocol's flexibility in
retrieving e-resource usage data

The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has published a
revision to the Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI)
Protocol (ANSI/NISO Z39.93-2014). The SUSHI standard defines an automated
request and response model for the harvesting of electronic resource usage
data utilizing a Web services framework that can replace the user-mediated
collection of usage data reports. It was designed as a generalized protocol
extensible to a variety of usage reports. An extension designed specifically
to work with COUNTER reports is provided. This new version of the SUSHI
standard extends the filter support to allow multiple filters and/or report
attributes to be included in the SUSHI Request. Use of these filters and
attributes is optional, making the new version backwards compatible with the
previous one. Additional documentation supporting SUSHI implementation has
been updated including SUSHI schemas, COUNTER schemas, sample reports,
selected SUSHI Harvesters tools, and the Server Registry.

"The SUSHI standard was created with the notion of filters; however, the
only filter originally provided for was that of the date range for the
report," explains Oliver Pesch, Chief Product Strategist, EBSCO Information
Services, and Co-chair of the SUSHI Standing Committee. "With use, a number
of cases have surfaced where additional filters and other report attributes
would be beneficial. The revised standard allows, for example, filtering by
a particular platform for harvesting when a given SUSHI server provides
usage for multiple platforms, or specifying that a report exclude items with
zero usage to keep the report size smaller."

"Both the core SUSHI schema and the COUNTER-SUSHI schema have been updated
to version 1.7 of SUSHI to match the revised standard," states Marie
Kennedy, Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian, Loyola Marymount
University, and Co-chair of the SUSHI Standing Committee. "The SUSHI
Standing Committee is also responsible for updating COUNTER-related schemas;
the COUNTER-SUSHI schema, the COUNTER schema, and the COUNTER data element
values have been updated to support COUNTER Release 4.1. Additionally, the
SUSHI website has new sample reports in COUNTER Release 4 formats, updates
to some of the SUSHI Harvester tools to allow the user to select "4" as the
COUNTER Release, and Server Registry updates to display known COUNTER 4
support."

"SUSHI has become a widely adopted NISO standard, but continuous maintenance
is required to keep it up to date," said Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive
Director. "The SUSHI Standing Committee actively maintains the standard to
address any reported implementation issues or new COUNTER Releases, and to
consider feature suggestions. This latest revision is an excellent example
of how the Standing Committee has updated the standard to provide requested
functionality." 

The revised SUSHI standard and extensive supporting tools and documentation
are available on the NISO SUSHI website at: www.niso.org/workrooms/sushi/
