SUMMARY:Multi-lingual Taxonomies  – TaxoCoP call, May 30th
LOCATION:Virtual
DESCRIPTION:In our global business environment, it often isn't enough to de
 rive a taxonomy in English.  Frequently, international businesses and web s
 ites now need multi-lingual taxonomies, or local language variations. This 
 challenge was discussed in a CoP thread earlier this year, and now the May 
 conference call will let you hear from some experts on this topic.  Should 
 you have a central master taxonomy and local variants?  Do the local versio
 ns translate back to global term?  What happens when some taxonomy owners a
 re non-English speakers?  What is the governance structure for a multi-ling
 ual? Seth Earley, along with Marti Heyman and Denise Bedford, will discuss 
 strategies, solutions, and describe case studies and examples about how to 
 manage multi-lingual taxonomies.
