Internationalization of ENQUETE-BAISE: A General-PurpOse E-questionnaire Server for Ubiquitous Questionnaire

摘要

Ubiquitous questionnaire is to provide users with E-questionnaire services anytime and anywhere such that one can use E-questionnaire servers without even thinking about them. A general-purpose E-questionnaire server for ubiquitous questionnaire, named "ENQUETE-BAISE", was proposed. It deals with not only E-questionnaire, but also E-voting and E-testing. On the other hand, the most intrinsic feature of ubiquitous questionnaire is to allow anyone to execute any kind of questionnaires anytime anywhere such that any respondent can answer questionnaires anytime anywhere. ENQUETE- BAISE should provide an environment that any user can do E-questionnaire, E-voting, or E-testing in his/her well-used locale. However, current ENQUETE-BAISE cannot provide such an environment. This paper proposes a mechanism to deal with internationalization of E-questionnaire, E-voting, and E-testing, and shows internationalization of ENQUETE- BAISE. The proposed mechanism is not ad-hoc such that it is independent of functional requirements of E-questionnaire, E-voting, and E-testing. Thus, we can use the mechanism continuously if ENQUETE-BAISE becomes more complex or more functional.
