    Form - Content - Essence: Designing Markup for Information Representation

    by Steven Pemberton

    EUROIA 2006

    Berlin, Germany

    Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:

    Considering that HTML is the world's most popular document format, it is seriously ill-fitted for information representation purposes.

    After an enormous effort in the 90's to undo the damage caused by mixing content and presentation, it seems like that message is now coming through.

    But there is still a long road to navigate. The tools you use for content delivery can greatly affect what you can achieve, and the amount of work you have to put in to achieve it.

    Do we really want to re-author a site for each type of device that is likely to use it? What are the best ways to meet the challenges of multi-lingual environments and accessibility?

    Work is ongoing at the World Wide Web Consortium W3C on producing markup languages that meet the needs of modern web content, and this talk describes the approach used, and in particular how XHTML2 and XForms meet the challenges of structured content, single authoring, accessibility, and device independence.

    Practical and Cultural Issues in Designing International Websites

    by Richard Ishida, in cooperation with the Spain Office

    Fundamentos Web 2006

    Oviedo, Asturias, Spain

    Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:

    If you are a designer, developer or author working on a website that may be translated or adapted for users in other countries or languages, you need to ensure that you don't build in substantial barriers to localization. If you think that the translation vendor or localization team can take care of things for you when the time comes, you really need to hear this talk. We will use examples to examine some of the things that must be designed into the site, rather than treated as an afterthought, if it is to be successfully deployed in more than one language or country.

    The Internationalisation Tag Set - What Happened Next

    by Richard Ishida

    LRC XI

    Dublin, Ireland

    Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications.

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:

    The Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) work at the W3C, led by Yves Savourel, defines a standard to support better internationalisation and localisation of schemas and XML documents (both existing and new ones). The standard proposes a set of data categories, for which it then defines implementations as a set of elements and attributes. It also provides examples of how ITS can be used with popular existing markup schemes such as DocBook and DITA, and in three schema languages, XML DTDs, XML Schema, and RELAX NG.

    The first version of the standard is nearing completion. It addresses how to identify translatable vs. non-translatable content, localisation notes, terminology references, directionality of text, language markup, inline elements, and ruby annotation.

    The aim is to ensure that XML formats support features needed for international use and for efficient localisation. It should also make the job of vendors easier by standardising the format and processing expectations of localisation-related markup items, and allowing translation tools to more effectively identify how content should be handled.

    The talk will use examples to acquaint you better with ITS and its relevance to the localisation community.
