Abstract:
Information can be expressed in many ways according to the different capacities of humans to perceive
it. Current systems deals with multimedia, multiformat and multiplatform systems but another « multi » is still
pending to guarantee global access to information, that is, multilinguality. Different languages imply different
replications of the systems according to the language in question. No solutions appear to represent the bridge
between the human representation (natural language) and a system-oriented representation. The United Nations
University defined in 1997 a language to be the support of effective multilinguism in Internet. In this paper, we
describe this language and its possible applications beyond multilingual services as the possible future standard
for different language independent applications.
