Abstract

A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for handling global data. Initially, data is received in a plurality of different languages. Further, the data is tagged based on the associated language. Further, the data is stored in a single storage device.

Claims

1. A method for handling global data, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving data in a plurality of different languages;

(b) tagging the data based on the associated language; and

(c) storing the data in a single storage device.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the data is received utilizing a network.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the network includes the Internet.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the data is tagged by allocating a file identification parameter, and specifying the file identification parameter based on the associated language.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the storage device includes a database.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the data is associated with an apparel industry.

7. A computer program product for handling global data, comprising:

(a) computer code for receiving data in a plurality of different languages;

(b) computer code for tagging the data based on the associated language; and

(c) computer code for storing the data in a single storage device.

8. The computer program product as recited in claim 7, wherein the data is received utilizing a network.

9. The computer program product as recited in claim 7, wherein the network includes the Internet.

10. The computer program product as recited in claim 7, wherein the data is tagged by allocating a file identification parameter, and specifying the file identification parameter based on the associated language.

11. The computer program product as recited in claim 7, wherein the storage device includes a database.

12. The computer program product as recited in claim 7, wherein the data is associated with an apparel industry.

14. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the data is received utilizing a network.

15. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the network includes the Internet.

16. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the data is tagged by allocating a specifiedfile identification parameter, and specifying the file identification parameter based on the associated language.

17. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the storage device includes a database.

18. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the data is associated with an apparel industry.

13. A system for handling global data, comprising:

(a) logic for receiving data in a plurality of different languages;

(b) logic for tagging the data based on the associated language; and

(c) logic for storing the data in a single storage device.
