or plane routes for my next trip with a difficult
transition on the Web, instead of waiting for my secretary to ask the travel
agent, which takes a day). I look for information on anything I want to know
about, instead of having to make a trip to the library and look through
complicated indexes. I send e-mail to you about this question, at a time that is
convenient for me, rather than your having to make a phone appointment and then
us talking for 15 minutes. And so on."

The Computing Research Laboratory (CRL) at New Mexico State University (NMSU) is
a non-profit research enterprise committed to basic research and software
development in advanced computing applications concentrated in the areas of
natural language processing, artificial intelligence and graphical user
interface design. Applications developed from basic research endeavors include a
variety of configurations of machine translation, information extraction,
knowledge acquisition, intelligent teaching, and translator workstation systems.

Maintained by the Department of Linguistics of the Translation Research Group of
Brigham Young University (BYU), Utah, TTT.org (Translation, Theory and
Technology) provides information about language theory and technology,
particularly relating to translation. Translation technology includes translator
workbench tools and machine translation. In addition to translation tools,
TTT.org is interested in data exchange standards that allow various tools to
interoperate, allowing the integration of tools from multiple vendors in the
multilingual document production chain.

In the area of data exchange standards, TTT.org is actively involved in the
development of MARTIF (machine-readable terminology interchange format). MARTIF
is a format to facilitate the interchange of terminological data among
terminology management systems. This format is the result of several years of
intense international collaboration among terminologists and database experts
from various organizations, including academic institutions, the Text Encoding
Initiative (TEI), and the Localisation Industry Standards Association (LISA).
