DrupalCon Barcelona 2007

Peter Van Dijck, author of the IA book and the XFML specification (read: well-known information architect), will provide a presentation at DrupalCon! The topic of his presentation is: I18N information architecture: how to organize global websites.

Your taxonomy might have problems: “Public schools” means almost the opposite in the US versus the UK – now what? How do you handle sites with 2, 4 or 50 languages or locales? What to do if an article hasn't been translated?
