The CEN/ISSS Cultural Diversity Focus Group (CDFG) is a committee within the European standardization body CEN and its Information Society Standardization System. In addition to all member states of the European Union the EFTA countries Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, and Romania are full members of CEN.
The CDFG is placed at the cross-roads of cultural diversity, information technology, and standardization. It's mission is:
- to recommend on actions and to initiate activities relating to standardization within the field of cultural and linguistic diversity from the point of view of information and communications technology (ICT), in particular on the European level, but also on regional or international level if this is deemed appropriate for European interests;
to function as a European discussion and coordination forum for standardization activities related to cultural diversity in ICT in Europe and beyond. This page is its wiki-based working platform. This page is its wiki-based working platform which is also used to facilitate electronic meetings.
The official website of the CDFG contains general information on the group as well as meeting schedules and agendas. This page is its wiki-based working platform.
