Abstract
This edition of the Standards Pipeline reports on new work in JTC I/ SC 24 (Computer Graphics and Image Processing) in the area of synthetic environments. The last Standards Pipeline described how at SC 24's Synthetic Environments Study Group met in the Republic of Korea in June 1999 and recommended that work should proceed to prepare for development of an international standard in cooperation with the SEDRIS Organization. As a result, SC 24 called an organizational meeting for October 1-4, 1999 in Alexandria, VA, to form a new working group and begin the development of this standard. In addition, a series of other meetings have been held to discuss coordination of spatial standardization among the many interested parties, including JTC I, ISO TC 211, the SEDRIS Organization and the Open GIS Consortium.
