NISO SUSHI update, ALA Midwinter 2015
The SUSHI committee updated the SUSHI standard and related schemas. The SUSHI standard (Z39.93) was updated to version 1.7, introducing new filters and report attributes to allow for more precise usage data requests. The COUNTER schema was also expanded to version 4.1 to support new article reports. Additionally, a SUSHI-Lite specification was created as a lightweight approach using HTTP/REST and JSON to deliver usage snippets or full reports. Proof of concept implementations of SUSHI-Lite have been developed. Going forward the committee aims to promote the SUSHI registry, collaborate on standards, and support developers through documentation and lists.

- 7. SUSHI standard updated NewFilters and Report Attributes • Allows for more precise specification of report requests, e.g. – Filter results to return usage only for a specific department – Ask to have zero usage excluded from the report • Backwards compatible • The new elements are optional • Current implementations of SUSHI for COUNTER R4 should NOT be affected
- 8. COUNTER schema updated COUNTERschema 4.1… • Expanded to support new COUNTER “Article” reports • Backward compatible – New elements are options – Standard COUNTER reports (JR1, BR1, BR2, etc.) did not change since they do not use the new elements
- 9. COUNTER SUSHI ImplementationProfile Updated Minor update to address some issues • PubYr attribute value to represent “unknown” should be “0001” and not “0000” • Fixed COUNTER report names in tables for consistency • Updated schema versions as necessary to match current standard
- 11. SUSHI-Lite A technical report– not a new standard • A Light-weight approach to delivering SUSHI reports • Using up-to-date web service approaches that uses HTTP/REST for communication and JSON for the contents • Ideal for delivering snippets of usage but also useful for full reports
