Objective
KOM2002 demonstrated the use of tools for distributed, multilingual content production, developed by one of the partners in a previous EU-funded project.
The central properties of these tools are: Every object in the database can exist in multiple versions in different languages. There can even be more than one version in each language. For example, a new object can first be machine-translated into different target languages, and the machine translations may later be replaced by human translations. Every object for publication has, associated with it, a forum. In this forum, the designers in different countries can discuss the object, suggest changes, supply revised versions, etc. Also the contributions to these forums are multilingual in the same way as the object for publication.
These facilities were demonstrated in a user group of psychiatrists and psychotherapists, who used the system to develop health information in the mental health area.
