Dear all,
If you maintain a website, especially if it includes a language other than English, I would be grateful if you would take part in this survey of multilingualism in European cultural websites and portals (see the letter below for more explanation).
The survey has a few days still to run, and we need a few more responses from the UK to achieve a representative sample for analysis. So please fill in the online form today!http://www.mek.oszk.hu/minerva/survey/survey.html
Thanks! Particularly to those who have already completed the survey.
Kate

Dear Madame /Sir! Thursday, July 01, 2004
We kindly ask your cooperation to fill out the below questionnaire of our survey.
We make this survey to map the multilingualism of cultural websites and portals. Our intention is to learn, if these sites are available for foreign users as well, by providing translations of the contents - fully or partially - in any other languages than their original one/s. We also would like to find out, if you use any tools for information retrieval, e.g. controlled vocabularies and thesauri etc., if so, are they available in any other languages.
The survey is being carried out in the framework of the Workgroup for multilingualism (WP3) of the MINERVA project, which started in 2002. This year the project has been extended to the participation of the new member states. The aim of MINERVA is to discuss, correlate and harmonise activities carried out in digitisation of cultural and scientific content. This is why we ask your contribution to fill out our questionnaire online by the 15th of July at the following URL address. <http://www.mek.oszk.hu/minerva/survey/survey.html>
Rewarding your cooperation
Your website
-gets publicity through the MINERVA project
-may be accessed through the national MINERVA sites
We will inform you
-about our events on a regular basis
-about the results of this survey.
If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to ask:
