  1. An L10N “Layer Cake” • Follows the “Semantic Web Layer Cake” • aka “W3C Semantic Stack” • aka “Enabling Standards Layer Cake” • A simple model to illustrate, at a glance, dependencies and relationships of relevant standards to localization. • The layer cake has evolved over the years and is still a popular model, it is widely understood. • Not intended to be a strict or precise model, illustrative only.

  9. Notes • SCIM is Unix only (?) • Feel like a layer is missing… • Maybe add TRs to the UCD Block

  10. Notes • This layer cake is meant to show association of applicable standards, but others could be developed for simple l10n components • ICU could break down into component layers like: calendars, collation, transliteration, etc.
