(International standards for text preparation and interchange)
As DOE seeks to move towards electronic production, management, and dissemination of scientific and technical information, it has for several years been involved in the development of international standards for text preparation and interchange. In support of this effort, the traveler serves as Convenor of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC18/WG8; during this trip he convened the spring meeting of WG8 in Bath. After the WG8 meeting, the traveler represented WG8 at the annual meeting of its parent committee, ISO/IEC JTCl/SC18 at the Association Francaise de Normalisation in Paris. Because ISO TC46 (Documentation) was meeting at the same time as SC18 and the traveler is SC18's liaison to TC46, he was able to attend several sessions of that committee as well.
