Localization World Taxonomy
The organizers of Localization World have developed a localization taxonomy to help active participants as well as first-time visitors find their way around the world of localization. Issues are classified in three broad topics: Functions, Industries and Geographies. This classification is used both in the Localization World Network — where it will help you identify fellow travelers and network with others who share your interests — as well as in the Localization World program where each session is "tracked" according to the taxonomy.
Localization World Program Committee:
• Kevin Bolen, Lionbridge
• Chris Boorman, SDL
• Jonathan Bowring, Canon
• Matthias Caesar, GALA, Locatech
• Karen Combe, PTC
• Andreas Dürr, across Systems
• Thomas Hecht, Siemens
• Fred Hollowood, Symantec
• Sylvia Idström, Sony Ericsson
• Conrad Pokorny, Semantix
• Chris Pyne, SAP
• Elisa Tormes, Tek Translation
