National Body Report of Japan

1. ISO-HTML

The JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Committee approved the Japanese translation of ISO/IEC 15445 [HyperText Markup Language (HTML)] in its June meeting. The text will be published as JIS X 4156:2000.

2. RELAX

The JIS Committee approved RELAX (Regular Language description for XML) Core in its March meeting. The RELAX Core was published in May 2000 as JIS/TR X 0029:2000.

The RELAX experts are now drafting a RELAX Namespace, which will be submitted to MITI (Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Japan) and JIS Committee for the final review in Sept 2000.

The RELAX experts plan to translate the RELAX texts into English and submit them to JTC1, after the approval of the RELAX Namespace in the JIS Committee.
