Hi, an interesting case of using semantic web to provide some cross language functionality is Faviki bookmarking site.
More about how they use it is described here http://faviki.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/faviki-is-featured-on-google-code/ just a few days ago a W3C SW case study was published about it http://faviki.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/w3c-sw-case-study-by-faviki-semantic-tags/ Probably this does not directly map to your case, but it can give you some ideas about how you can leverage LOD and especially dbPedia for cross-language solutions. bye Andraz Tori On Thu, 2008-12-11 at 18:35 -0800, Semantics-ProjectParadigm wrote: > Sorry for typos in previous message subject line > > Dear all, > > I am writing proposals for setting up web portals to access digital > repositories on a large number of knowledge domains. > > The point is that the same information needs to be made available in a > large number of languages. > > Are there any computer programs, research programs or projects out > there that deal with providing semantic web solutions for information > that needs to be made available in a large number of different > languages? > > My first impression was to look within the European Union, but there > must be more out there. > > Another issue inherent to the same question is that there are few > Content Management Systems out there that provide the option of > creating basically the same site in many languages. > > Milton Ponson > GSM: +297 747 8280 > Rainbow Warriors Core Foundation > PO Box 1154, Oranjestad > Aruba, Dutch Caribbean > www.rainbowwarriors.net > Project Paradigm: A structured approach to bringing the tools for > sustainable development to all stakeholders worldwide > www.projectparadigm.info > NGO-Opensource: Creating ICT tools for NGOs worldwide for Project > Paradigm > www.ngo-opensource.org > MetaPortal: providing online access to web sites and repositories of > data and information for sustainable development > www.metaportal.info > SemanticWebSoftware, part of NGO-Opensource to enable SW technologies > in the Metaportal project > www.semanticwebsoftware.info > > > Milton Ponson > GSM: +297 747 8280 > Rainbow Warriors Core Foundation > PO Box 1154, Oranjestad > Aruba, Dutch Caribbean > www.rainbowwarriors.net > Project Paradigm: A structured approach to bringing the tools for > sustainable development to all stakeholders worldwide > www.projectparadigm.info > NGO-Opensource: Creating ICT tools for NGOs worldwide for Project > Paradigm > www.ngo-opensource.org > MetaPortal: providing online access to web sites and repositories of > data and information for sustainable development > www.metaportal.info > SemanticWebSoftware, part of NGO-Opensource to enable SW technologies > in the Metaportal project > www.semanticwebsoftware.info > > -- Andraz Tori, CTO Zemanta Ltd, London, Ljubljana www.zemanta.com mail: [email protected] tel: +386 41 515 767 twitter: andraz, skype: minmax_test
