In the early days of XML, this work was undertaken within the context of the European funded project GESTALT (Getting Educational System Talk Across Leading Edge Tec...

This study investigates antecedents of innovation impacts derived by firms participating in publicly funded collaborative R&D projects. Innovation impacts are reflected in product and process innovation, and inimitability of the resulting technology. Project and firm-specific factors are considered. The dataset for our analysis is based on survey responses from 694 firms collected through an ex...

In this paper we report in the Multilingual Web initiative which is a collaboration between the Internationalization Activity of the W3C and the European Commission (EC), realized as a series of EC-funded projects. We review the outcomes of the first of these projects, “Multilingual Web”, which conducted a successful workshop series aimed at analyzing borders or “gaps” within Web technology sta...
