Dear Subscribers, The Web Services Task Force of the W3C Internationalization Working Group is pleased to announce the publication of the first "Web Services Internationalization Usage Scenarios" Working Draft at http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-ws-i18n-scenarios-20021220/.
The goal of this document is to gather scenarios for using Web services in ways that require attention to internationalization. This information will be the basis for: o creating "best practices" and tutorial information for Web service implementers and technology providers o proposing standards for Web services and related technologies to support international operation o demonstrating international issues in existing Web services technologies and standards to the groups responsible for their development and maintenance We invite you to contribute additional Usage Scenarios that document aspects of Web Services internationalization that are not yet covered by this document or that extend the examples given. To contribute, please use a format similar to the one used in this document, and send your contribution to the publicly archived mailing list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. Please use "[Web Services]" or "[WSUS]" in the subject. Please do not send proprietary material or information. We also invite you to join this Task Force. Members of the Task Force will have the opportunity to influence the internationalization of Web services standards as they evolve. You may also wish to join our public mailing list (public-i18n-ws @ w3.org).
