内容简介

XML is an internationally adopted standard requiring clearly defined practices for internationalization of content. XML Internationalization is the only place where developers will find the best practices of the internationalization community as applied to XML. As the amount of information stored in XML containers is growing and its distribution reaches everywhere in the world, internationalization has become an integral part of developing XML solutions. Proposed as a simplified form of SGML in 1996, XML version 1.0 was released at the beginning of 1998 and became very quickly the center of many efforts to take advantage of the Internet. The purpose of this book is twofold: First to describe what needs to be done to internationalize XML documents and applications; second to describe how the XML data can be localized efficiently. There is currently almost no information on these two topics grouped and organized in a single reference. In addition, while XML has evolved a lot the past 2 years, it has now reached a point of global acceptance, as evidenced by the many international XML working groups addressing trading partner agreements, electronic document exchange, business processes, and eBusiness.
