The web support technology for the Mongolian Digital Library has passed the technical appraisal of the Department of Science and Technology of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The technology has solved for the first time a series of technological problems involving saving, sending, displaying, editing and inputting Mongolian international standard codes in Internet applications, a source with the department said.
The technology, co-developed by the Library of Inner Mongolia and the Mingantu Internet Technology Development Co. Ltd of Inner Mongolia, has filled in a blank in the web application of the Mongolian international standard codes.
The Library of Inner Mongolia tops the country in the collection of Mongolian documents both in the varieties and amount collected, the source added.
The development of the technology is expected to boost the information development of the Mongolian language and create favorable conditions for the study of Mongolian as well as the distance education for the ethnic minorities, the source said.
