[sc34wg3] Heads up! SC36 Liaison coming

Hi Jim,

Can you send me the details of the Singapore meeting? I may be able to 
attend. Lars Marius, Naito-san and  I met with one of the Japan delegates 
of SC 36 last year and at that time and she was also very much interested 
in topic maps (I need to hunt down here name card).  SC36 seems to be very 
active in Japan.  I will see if I can attend one of the Japan sc36 meetings 
as a guest.

As far as I can remember, they are working on standards such as SCORM for 
online training. They might be working on a controlled vocabulary for 
educational concepts.

Cheers,
Mary
