  2. ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34: Document Description and Processing Languages • Part of JTC1, Information Technology • Working groups for • Information Description (SGML) • Information Presentation (Fonts, DSSSL) • Information Association (HyTime, Topic Maps) • SC34/WG3 met in conjunction with this conference; SC34 will meet again at XML Europe in Berlin Knowledge Technologies 2001

  3. SC34 started the standardization of markup languages. • Producing a series of standards, beginning with SGML (1986) and continuing through Topic Maps (2000), RELAX (2001), . . . • Continues to maintain existing standards and look ahead to new projects • Many XML project leaders developed their ideas in SC34 and learned how to do standards work there. Knowledge Technologies 2001

  4. SC34 technology is at the core of much XML work. • SGML  XML • DSSSL XSL, XSLT • HyTime XPath, XPointer, Xlink • SGML information set (GROVE) XML Infoset and, outside the W3C, • Topic Maps XTM Knowledge Technologies 2001

  5. SC34 has work in progress. • SGML adjusted to support XML requirements • Fonts, DSSSL being updated and amended • RELAX in Fast-Track process as ISO TR • Topic Maps may produce several products: • Extensions and amendments • Models and other technical reports • Query language • Data model (to be shared with XTM) Knowledge Technologies 2001

  6. Latest Status (March 2001) • RELAX is out for ballot, results will be discussed in Berlin • Amendment to DSSSL ready to publish • Project proposals for Topic Map Query Language and Conceptual Model out for initial ballot in JTC1 Knowledge Technologies 2001
