Chairs:
I've had a couple of questions about the topic area of SC34. I assumed
that if your TC's work was related to SC34 that you would know this, but
it's a fair question to ask :-)
A short summary is that SC34 works on SGML, HyTime, DSSSL, Topic
Maps, and schema languages.
Here's the description from the JTC1/SC34 web site at www.jtc1.org:
Standardization in the field of document structures, languages and
related facilities for the description and processing of compound and
hypermedia documents, including:
-languages for describing document logical structures and their
support facilities
-languages for describing document-like objects in web environments
-document processing architecture and formatting for logical documents
-languages for describing interactive documents
-multilingual font information interchange and related services
-final-form document architecture and page information interchange
-hypermedia document sturcutring language and application resources
-API's for document processing
