The topological Skyrme model is known to give a successful description of b
aryons. As a consistency check, here it is shown that in view of the recent
discovery of charge quantization as an intrinsic and basic property of the
Standard Model and the color dependence arising therein, the Skyrme Model
is indeed completely consistent with the Standard Model. (C) 2001 Published
