WG4, as a U.S. committee, is sponsored by ANSI and supported by the JTC1 Secretariat. The Secretariat manager, Lisa Rajchel, can be reached at 212-642-4932 or lrajchel@ansi.org.
ISO/IEC JTC1/WG4 and its prececesor ISO/IEC JTC1/SC18/WG8 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. WG4 has developed a DTD for its internal documents and will start to make them available in SGML according to this application of SGML. To use these documents, you will need an SGML-based WWW browser, such as SoftQuad's Panorama. Some documents will also be made available in the HTML application or in Word.
Notice: Some materials in the WG4 collection are under copyright by ISO, which expects them to be used only for the purposes of standards development. However, the U.S. Department of Energy, having supported the development of WG4's standards, also claims a "nonexclusive, royalty-free license to publish or reproduce the published form" of these documents "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. (WG4 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 next meeting of WG4 will be held in conjunction with GCA's SGML/XML Europe in Washington, DC, U.S.A. The meeting will be held in Paris France, 11-15 May 1998.
The Convenor's collection of electronic documents is available by anonymous FTP.
The current membership list is available by anonymous FTP.
The attendance list from the Alexandria meeting is available by anonymous FTP.
This site includes the final text of the second edition of HyTime. It is being made available with the understanding that it does not replace the printed document, which will be available from ISO. The U.S. Department of Energy, having paid part of the expenses for the development of this standard, reserves a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to make these materials available for its purposes, including the promotion of the standard.
The source materials are in SGML This source takes precedence over all other forms of the document, including published paper versions of the standard.
The PostScript version has also been distilled into Acrobat format: N1920.pdf. Formatted from the SGML using Framemaker+SGML with the ISO Publishing system application.
This is the final text of DSSSL. It is being made available with the understanding that it does not replace the printed document, which will be available from ISO. The U.S. Department of Energy, having paid part of the expenses for the development of this standard, reserves a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to make these materials available for its purposes, including the promotion of the standard.
The source materials are in SGML, with a DTD modified from that in ISO/IEC TR 9573-11. Graphics are in EPS.
The PostScript version has also been distilled into Acrobat format: ISO/IEC 10179 Front Matter and ISO/IEC 10179 Body
ISO/TC46/SC4/WG6 is responsible for a well-known application of SGML. The Convenor is Eric van Herwijnen, of CERN and NICE Technologies.
