e-Gov Language Processing Requirements, Approach, References
Requirements • Build geopolitical hierarchies • Support industry domains and legacy content • International coordination of common needs • Enable in-country use and extensions • Language localization mechanics and context • Develop Registries / Semantics / Dictionaries • Libraries of templates for postal address delivery, and other shared information processing • Legal documents shared meanings • Accessibility and language
Approach (1) • Build geopolitical hierarchies • Classifications and Ontologies for registry content access • Support industry domains and legacy content • Existing standards such as UCC and UPC/EAN, UN/CEFACT, X12/EDI as enablers. • International coordination of common needs • Agreements and standards, e.g. EPA formats for chemicals reporting, alignment of terms and meanings. Collaboration on defining information nouns and regulations. • Enable in-country use and extensions • Design in ability for local extensions and support in-country variations
Approach (2) • Language localization mechanics and context • Provide interoperable term dictionaries (e.g. CEFACT BSR) • Develop context mechanisms • Use labelling systems (UID) to cross-reference like nouns, not the local words (avoids synonyms issues). • Develop Registries / Semantics / Dictionaries • Leverage registry software tools to break ‘Catch 22’ impasse. • Libraries of templates for postal address delivery, and other shared information processing • Tools like OASIS CAM – to capture business semantics of structured use rules and the associated contexts.
Approach (3) • Legal documents shared meanings • Libraries of documents that have been certified as equivalent in local languages • Commonly used phrases and agreement fragments (e.g. privacy statements for user sign-up acceptance, liability statements). • Ability to cross-reference between local content use, and associated legal context via interactive links to registry definitions. • Accessibility • US Gov Section: 508 requirements as model • http://www.section508.gov/
