OASIS and LISA Collaborate on Global e-Business Survey

New Study to Determine Impact of Multi-Lingual Technologies

Geneva, Switzerland and Boston, MA, USA; 1 October 2002 -- A new survey
to determine the impact of multi-lingual technologies on global
e-business is the latest product of cooperation between two
international organizations developing complementary standards for
localization. The Organization for the Advancement of Structured
Information Standards (OASIS), together with the Localization Industry
Standards Association (LISA), have produced a Global eBusiness Survey
http://www.lisa.org/interact/2002/ebizsurvey.html designed to
investigate the amount of activity and resources devoted to using or
developing localization products.

"The survey will provide insight into the needs and implementation plans
of users of Web services and language processing
standards," explained Michael Anobile, Managing Director of LISA.

The survey is structured in two parts: The Business Process section is
for managers responsible for international product, services, sales or
support operations; the Localization Expert section is designed for
product, Web services, development and standards professionals.

"The information we collect will be very significant for managers,
planners, information architects, and executives who are interested in
the trends and standards that will enable them to more easily conduct
global e-Business--including Web services," said Patrick Gannon,
president and CEO of OASIS.

Preliminary results of the survey will be presented by Gannon on 5
November at the 2002 LISA Forum Europe in Heidelberg, Germany.

This survey is part of a recent series developed by LISA to measure the
impact of language in business, multi-lingual content creation and the
related technologies and standards.  Future surveys in process by OASIS
and LISA will focus on the governmental policies impacting e-Business
and cross-border trading along with the evolution and adoption of global
standards to meet the cultural requirements of each market.
