First, ITS 2.0 focuses on HTML5. We can expect that huge amounts of Web content will be produced using HTML5 in the future, and ITS 2.0 will provide the means to properly internationalize and localize HTML5, using both human translation or language technologies like machine translation.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, ITS 2.0 builds bridges to the Semantic Web area, by providing mechanisms to re-use ITS metadata (so-called &#8220;data categories&#8221;) with RDF.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, ITS 2.0 defines <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/2012\/WD-its20-20120626\/#datacategory-description\">new data categories<\/a> that are demanded by the localization and language technology communities.<\/p>\n<p>The development of this first draft of ITS 2.0 would not have been possible without the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.multilingualweb.eu\/\">MultilingualWeb<\/a> project: via MultilingualWeb, stakeholders of quite diverse communities have provided input to the initial metadata definitions. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/International\/\">W3C Internationalization Activity<\/a> is now the place for these communities to move that metadata and its implementations forward.  <\/p>\n<p>We very much welcome feedback also from outside the Working Group &#8211; see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/International\/multilingualweb\/lt\/track\/issues\/\">issues discussed within the Working Group<\/a>.
