Iso Moves Quickly To Adopts Java Scripting

Computergram International, June 19, 1998

ISO is set to rubber stamp ECMAScript, the European Computer Manufacturers Association's enhanced version of JavaScript as the ISO/IEC 16262 standard by the end of the summer. ECMAScript - officially ECMA TC-262 - is used to design web pages that support Java applications. ECMA first met to try and identify an enhanced version of JavaScript that would be suitable for industry-wide use in 1996.

The first version of ECMA-262 was approved in June, 1997. ISO's ballot on ECMAscript lasted from October 1997 to April 1998 and the final coordinated ISO/IEC 16262 and ECMA 262 standard will be published during the summer of 1998. "Less than two years between the first meeting and the ISO/IEC publication of this standard is probably some kind of record," ISO's SC22 Java group observes.
