Liaison statement from SC22/WG22 to SC22/WG11
---------------------------------------------

SC22/WG22 : PCTE was created by SC22 at its 1994 Plenary meeting 
by resolution 315 (see below).

The PCTE standard consists of an Abstract (language-independent) 
Specification (ISO/IEC 13719-1) and bindings to the C and Ada 
programming languages (ISO/IEC 13719-2 and 3).  These make use of the 
work of SC22/WG11 in the following ways:

 - the Abstract Specification and the Bindings use the LID to help 
   define the mappings from the datatypes of the Abstract Specification 
   to the datatypes of the binding languages;

 - the Bindings use the Guidelines for Language Bindings as guidelines 
   for the definition of the binding strategies.

At its first meeting on 27-28 March 1995 WG22 resolved to seek to 
establish liaison with SC22/WG11 in order to maximize the quality of 
these aspects of its standards, and to make available to WG11 the 
benefit of the experience gained in preparing the PCTE standards.  WG22 
therefore resolved:

 - to appoint John Dawes (WG22 Project Editor) liaison officer from 
   SC22/WG22 to SC22/WG11;

 - to invite WG11 to comment on the use of language-independent 
   standards and guidelines in the present PCTE standards;

 - to seek ways through liaison with WG11 to make the experience gained 
   in producing the PCTE language-independent standard and bindings 
   available to a wider audience.

Annex: resolution 315 of SC22 1994 Plenary meeting

  ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 notes with pleasure the successful outcome of the 
  ballot resolution meeting for DIS 13719 Portable Common Tools 
  Environment (PCTE) in Geneva, and assigns project 22.47 to a new 
  working group, WG22 - PCTE, with the following terms of reference:
  
     to maintain and develop the three parts of the ISO/IEC 13719 PCTE
     standard; 
  
     to develop further standards, complementary to that standard
  
  and directs WG22 - PCTE to establish appropriate working relationships 
  with other organisations involved in PCTE development, such as 
  ECMA/TC33;  and  to establish liaisons with other JTC1 bodies that are 
  working in related fields, such as SC21/WG3 - Database and SC7/WG11 - 
  Software engineering data description.
  
  ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 further
  
     accepts the offer of France for the nomination of Mr Regis Minot as
     convener of WG22 - PCTE;
   
     accepts the offer of UK for the nomination of Mr John Dawes as
     project editor for WG22 - PCTE;
   
     and, subject to endorsement by a national body, accepts the ECMA
     proposal to provide the secretariat of WG22 - PCTE.
