Machine Translation: A Key to Information Supremacy and Knowledge-Based Operations

Abstract

Informational Globalization unleashed by the recent advent of information technology has brought the world closer than ever by placing the world on a single information grid. Ironically, abundance of data makes information a much more serious and important commodity. This is because access to data is no longer limited to those few well-endowed nations, but others who did not previously have such privilege. This presents a new challenge and opportunity. The value of information is based not solely on its content and accuracy, but also on its speed of acquisition. Acquiring relevant and accurate information from data before others often decides a victor. From this perspective, information globalization is about information competition that turns data into information and knowledge.
