    Strategic Partnership between MIT2 and TAAI

    A strategic alliance has just been announced between
    Mason Integrated Technologies Ltd (MIT2) and the
    Transnational Arctic and Antarctic Institute (TAAI).

    MIT2, founded by Marilyn Mason in 1996, is a software
    development and service provider specialized in language
    processing solutions for several minority and less-prevalent
    languages. Although initially focused on Creole languages,
    MIT2 has been extending its efforts to meet the needs of other
    cultural and language groups.

    TAAI, founded by Peter Wilkniss in 1997, has been undertaking
    the Computer-assisted Translation of Alaska Native Languages
    (CATANAL) project as a means of preserving and improving
    communication between the various native languages of Alaska
    and between these languages and English.

    Jeffrey Allen, who has held advisory roles with both MIT2 and
    TAAI since 1998, states that "many people talk about wanting
    to implement language technologies into contexts for neglected
    languages. MIT2 and TAAI are two of the only organizations in
    the world that have taken this beyond an idea on paper. They
    have both heavily invested time, money and resources into
    creating networks of technically competent and culturally
    sensitive teams to make their efforts beneficial for the
    intended users."

    The cooperative effort between MIT2 and TAAI will allow both
    organizations to combine their efforts for reaching even wider
    communities and populations with their products and services.
