Greetings. I'm writing this message to solicit volunteers to report local activities related to Internationalization and Localization acitivity of DCMI at the Internationalization session of DC-2003 in Seattle, USA on Moday 29, 2003. (The DC-2003 conference program is available at http://www.ischool.washington.edu/dc2003/program.html.) The internationalization session will be an excellent opportunity to share local information and experiences by the global community. I'd like to solicit volunteers, especially those from non-English speaking regions, to present local activities. For example, topics are not limited, but may include - national/regional standard for DCMES, - language and/or culture specific elements/vocabularies/application-profiles. By now, I have volunteers from India, Japan (myself) Taiwan and China. I'm thinking a few minutes presentation (at most 5 minutes) by each speaker to report local activities. If you are planning to attend DC-2003 and have interests in voluteering a short presentation please contact me. FYI: Summary table of local activities collected in 2002 is available at http://avalon.ulis.ac.jp/~sugimoto/DC-IL/translationsSummary.html.
