ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 and its prececesors ISO/IEC JTC1/SC18/WG8 and ISO/IEC JTC1/WG4 have made parts of their library of documents, going back to the time WG8 was brought into ISO/IEC JTC1/SC18, available over the Internet. Many of the earliest documents are encoded in troff; later documents are in Microsoft Word. WG8 developed a DTD for its internal documents and made them available in SGML according to this application of SGML until a move was made to HTML. To use these documents, you will need an SGML-based WWW browser, such as SoftQuad's Panorama. Some documents were also made available in the HTML application or in Word.
JTC1/SC34 is beginning operations with the assumption that documents will be made available in the HTML application of SGML.
SC34 also has a template in HTML for a standard SC34 document.
Notice: Some materials in the SC34 collection are under copyright by ISO, which expects them to be used only for the purposes of standards development. However, because the U.S. Department of Energy, has supported the development of SC34's standards and maintains this Web site (under contract DE-AC05-84OR21400), it makes the following assertion:
The U.S. Government retains a paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable, world-wide license to publish or reproduce the published form of these documents, prepare derivative works, distribute copies to the public, and perform publicly and display publicly, or to allow others to do so, for U.S. Government purposes.
Not all documents are available in electronic form. The Convenor maintains historical files of paper documents which are available for inspection. (SC34 no longer produces paper documents.)
These documents are available for downloading:
Master register (historical listing) (Word 6, 218K), (HTML, 383K) (These registers contain no links to document files.)
Current registers (documents not yet in historical compilation, with some links to document files)
The Bloomingdale (Chicago) meeting was the first and organizational plenary of SC34.
The Paris meeting was the last meeting as JTC1/WG4.
The next meeting of SC34 will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, November 29 -- December 3, 1999 . The meeting will be held in conjunction with GCA's conferences "XML '99" (http://www.gca.org/conf/xml99/xm99ndex.htm) and "Markup Technologies" (http://www.gca.org/conf/mt99/mtndex.htm). The Agenda for the meeting is available
