Any trans-national project that aims to share data in Europe will need to confront issues of language. Language returns us to issues of identity and culture once more, as discussed in detail by Oberländer-Târnoveanu elsewhere in this issue, but there are some overall points that can be made here.
Language is more than mere translation from one language to another; it is also about our common understanding of meaning. This becomes a problem both between peoples with different national languages and internally within those language groups. To deal with both these aspects, this section is divided into two sections considering both multi-lingual resources and semantic issues.
