Report of Official Foreign Travel to Canada 10-19 August 2001
In support of DOE's use of SGML, XML, HTML, and related standards, I have served since 1985 as Chairman of the international committee responsible for SGML and related standards, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 (SC34) and its predecessor organizations. During my August 2001 trip, I attended the summer 2001 meeting of SC34/WG3 in Montreal, Canada. I also attended Extreme Markup Languages 2001, a major conference on the use of SGML and XML sponsored by IDEAlliance, and participated in the reorganizational meeting of TopicMaps.org, which is in transition from being an independent group to becoming a Member Section of OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards). Supporting standards development allows the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) and the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12) the opportunity both to provide input into the process and to benefit from contact with some of the leading experts in the subject matter. Oak Ridge has been for some years the location to which other DOE sites turn for expertise in SGML, XML, and related topics.
