A software for managing the configuration of MIRACH Aerial Target Systems, called GL, has been developed for Galileo Avionica.
System for operating management and integrated logistics support
Un Consorzio
Technical translation and localization services
Un Consorzio
A localization project has the purpose of creating multilingual versions of:
• software programmes• e-business and company portals• on-line assistance systems• CBT (Computer Based Training)• static and dynamic websites (based on CMS)• hi-tech, mobile and wireless systems
Localization
Un Consorzio
The adaptation process of a product to a determine market. This process includes different aspects such as technical-functional, linguistic and cultural ones.
“Localization revolves around combining language and technology to produce a product that can cross cultural and language barriers.”
The critical factor in localization is represented by the technical-informatic management of problems.
Localization
Un Consorzio
Technical translations
• Use and maintenance manuals• Operating manuals• Technical specifications• Technical-operating documentation• Catalogues• Illustrated Part Breakdown

Research SEALIS Project
Search Engine for Advanced Learning and Information Systems
IST-2004-2.4.7 Semantic based Knowledge and Content Systems
The project aims at creating semantic applications capable of understanding the meaning of contents and guiding the user directly towards information searched for by using advanced strategies and through semantic queries.
These searches can be carried out by means of an ontological structure which will represent the platform for identifying such information.
