Family
History Information Standards Organisation, or FHISO, is a newly-formed
international organisation created to develop standards for the digital
representation and sharing of family history and genealogical information. The
standards will solve today’s interoperability issues independently of
technology platforms, genealogy products or services. They will provide
opportunities for innovation and will address robust user requirements such as
search, capture and research administration.
FHISO is a nonprofit, community-owned organisation. The
organisation will operate democratically, and membership will be available to
all who participate in the global family history and genealogical community.
I don't
know about you and a reason that many of us stay with one genealogy software
package or online service is because we know that we probably can't fully
transfer our information to another one!
We know that we can always use the GEDCOM format as an econo means of
sharing info, regardless of platform and hopefully FHISO will come up with a
more elegant and powerful option!
