Globalize your On Demand Business

LanguageWare is the new generation IBM linguistic platform. It was designed from the ground up to address the demands posed by today's global applications.
Executive overview

"In recent years, we have moved from a time when information was stored largely in the human brain, to a time when is stored on large computer networks spread across the globe. This largely unstructured information must be analyzed, categorized, summarized, and used as a tool that helps companies gain competitive advantage.

"IBM has invested significantly in technologies and services that enables us to effectively service the lingistic challenges faced by the software development community. One beneficiary of this increased investment has been the IBM Dictionary and Linguistic Tools (DLT) group. It was created several years ago to develop a new generation of linguistic technology, one that would support a broad range of applications. It was also asked to create an architecture that was cross-lingual, simple to integrate across languages, and one that accurately reflected the needs of our customers and the business that is driving them.

"IBM LanguageWare v3 is the result of two years research and development, and is a completely new breed of linguistic solution. LanguageWare provides language understanding technology for IBM products--and for those of our customers and partners--that leverages the business value stored in their unstructured information."
