With our increasingly mobile lifestyles, it’s time to include the connected car in this mix. The Web is the ideal platform to offer a rich range of benefits and value-added services to drivers and passengers. The goal of this workshop is to explore how to make these benefits a reality. W3C invites automotive manufacturers and service providers, wireless carriers, insurance companies, application and solution developers and others to participate in this discussion at the workshop. W3C membership is not required to participate. Please submit a statement of interest by 12 October and learn more about participation. http://www.w3.org/2012/08/web-and-automotive/expected http://www.w3.org/2012/08/web-and-automotive/participate This Workshop has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme.

Content or software that is authored in one language (the source language) is often made available in additional languages or adapted with regard to other cultural aspects. This is done through a process called localization, where the original material is translated and adapted to the target audience. In addition, document formats expressed by schemas may be used by people in different parts of the world, and these people may need special markup to support the local language or script. For example, people authoring in languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, or Urdu need special markup to specify directionality in mixed direction text. http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20120829/ ITS 2.0 is a technology to add metadata to Web content, for the benefit of localization, language technologies, and internationalization.
