Table Example INTERNATIONALIZATION TECHNOLOGY FAMILY Work on internationalization (I18N) is part of W3C's Architecture Domain and Internationalization Activity. Information needs to be easy to translate, process, publish, and share in a wide range of languages: for example Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, and Korean. The goal of the Internationalization Activity is to ensure that W3C's formats and protocols do not create barriers for languages, writing systems, character codes, and other local conventions. Future capabilities and issues are discussed on the W3C website ( Fundamental to the Web are Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) (new RFC 3986 – January 2005), which are simple text strings that refer to Internet resources – documents, resources, people, and indirectly to anything. URIs are the glue that binds the Web together. Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) (new RFC 3987 – January 2005) extend and strengthen the glue, by enabling the indentification of Web resources in any natural or programming language. TARGET TECHNOLOGIES DISR STANDARDS Unicode XML Localization Interchange File Format (XLIFF) WS-Internationalization (WS-I18N) ISO –1:2000 TARGET TECHNOLOGY: UNICODE The W3C Internationalization Activity promotes Unicode (ISO 10646) for character encoding, ensuring that any data can be handled in a uniform way and displayed, searched, sorted, and manipulated without data corruption. Unicode provides a unique number for every character, without regard to the platform, the program, or the language. The Unicode Standard imposes additional constraints beyond ISO on implementations to ensure that they treat characters uniformly across platforms and applications. To this end, it supplies an extensive set of functional character specifications, character data, algorithms and substantial background material that is not in ISO/IEC NATO / EAPC Unclassified
