This international technical committee is concerned with standardization in the field of document structures, languages, and related facilities for the description and processing of compound and hypermedia documents. The portfolio includes standards for document structures, structures for interactive documents in web environments, document processing architectures, multilingual font information interchange, and APIs for document processing. The accreditation also means that the United States will once again be a voting member of ISO/IEC/JTC 1/SC 34 after a lapse of some months.

   NISO to Manage U.S. Group Dedicated to Document Description and Processing
   Languages
   Baltimore, MD - January 04, 2018 - The National Information Standards
   Organization (NISO) has been accredited by the American National Standards
   Institute (ANSI) to take over management of the U.S. Technical Advisory
   Group for the [4]ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 - Document description and processing
   languages. This international technical committee is concerned with
   standardization in the field of document structures, languages, and related
   facilities for the description and processing of compound and hypermedia
   documents. The portfolio includes standards for document structures,
   structures for interactive documents in web environments, document
   processing architectures, multilingual font information interchange, and
   APIs for document processing. The accreditation also means that the United
   States will once again be a voting member of ISO/IEC/JTC 1/SC 34 after a
   lapse of some months.

   NISO's membership voted this past fall in favor of adding the JTC 1/SC 34
   portfolio to its roster of international standards activities. NISO has
   managed the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for [5]ISO/TC46 -
   Information and documentation and its six subcommittees since the technical
   committee was formed in the 1940s. NISO also serves as the Secretariat for
   [6]ISO/TC 46/SC 9 - Identification and description, supporting the
   international work on identifiers and metadata it undertakes, so that the
   new work is an ideal complement to an already robust set of
   responsibilities.
   "SC 34's standards provide important foundational structures for the
   software, publishing, and media communities and are therefore a natural fit
   for us," comments NISO Executive Director Todd Carpenter. "Our work has long
   involved standards related to document creation, formatting, description,
   and preservation, so our community is well poised to enrich SC 34's efforts
   worldwide. The NISO Board of Directors also felt that a lack of a U.S. voice
   in SC 34's decisions was a troublesome gap in worldwide standards
   leadership."
   The ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 34 described in its
   [7]2017 business plan the value of its work: "Document file formats and
   document processing languages continue to play a vital role in the evolving
   global market for digital information products of all kinds. While many of
   the base technologies, such as XML, are mature, new applications continue to
   emerge that demand innovation in the integration of existing and new
   technologies." JTC 1/SC 34 includes among its 80 standards those relating to
   SGML, EPUB, Office Open XML (OOXML), OpenDocument Format, Font information
   interchange, and Document Schema Definition Languages (DSDL). See a full
