Abstract

Effective global information access is more critical now than ever before. The digital world where users have diverse languages and diverse cultural backgrounds is increasing more rapidly than at any other time in history.

The chapter also describes the traditional and emerging approaches to enhancing global information access and proposes a system that shows how emerging approaches can minimize cultural differences.
