Abstract

GloBuddyis a dynamic broad-context phrase book that assists English speaking travelers in finding words and phrases, in a foreign language, that are relevant to their current situation or context. Unlike traditional phrase books, such as Berlitz, GloBuddyac hieves a broad range of contexts byusing common sense knowledge from the OpenMind database and the OMCSnet, in conjunction with a translation program. When GloBuddyis launched on a hand-held device travelers will be able to turn to it for help in anycon text or situation.
