This is working space for the preparation of data usable for the purpose of establishing and maintaining CLARIN's liaison with ISO. The result is going to be moved to the public space at GitHub.

== Goal ==
[http://www.iso.org/sites/directives/directives.html#Section-sec_1.17.2 Category A liaison] between ISO and CLARIN. Such liaisons are open to "Organizations  that make an effective contribution to the work of the technical  committee or subcommittee for questions dealt with by this technical  committee or subcommittee. Such organizations are given access to all  relevant documentation and are invited to meetings. They may nominate  experts to participate in a [Working Group]".

(Placeholder for TC37 SC4 resolution in this matter)

== ISO standards that CLARIN researchers are involved with ==
"TC/SC/WG" serves as the organizing column (Technical Committee, Subcommittee, optionally Working Group)

The "remarks" column may further specify the nature of involvement.
