Re: W3C Library Linked Data XG - request for review

Hi Karen,

thanks for checking. My definition of "internationalization" is based on
topics covered e.g. in the W3C Internationalization Activity, see and browse
http://www.w3.org/International/resource-index
You can discuss internationalization issues focusing on a single language
(e.g. Japanese layout) - but what you describe below sounds like the benefit
of having mechanisms for multilinguality. So how about this formulation:

"It provides multilingual facilities (e.g. multilingual labeling of concepts
identified by a language agnostic URI) for data and user services".

Regards,

Felix
