"Con este motivo, el proyecto desarrollará las herramientas necesarias para capacitar de manera eficiente a la población ante una situación de desastre, permitiendo una actualización sistemática de las bases de datos y su socialización con toda la sociedad y a la vez contar con todos los instrumentos que permitan a las autoridades de la Defensa Civil tomar decisiones de manera eficiente y eficaz."
I have translated it like this:
"With this goal in mind, the project will develop the necessary tools to provide the population efficiently with the necessary means in the wake of a disaster situation. The project will allow for a systematic update of the databases and a socialization to all of society while at the same time relying on all of the tools that allow the authorities of the Civil Defense make decisions with efficiency and effectiveness."
The part I really don't like here is the "socialization to all of society". What exactly is being socialized? Does it refer to educating the population about the project? If so, what would be the best way of phrasing it, given the context? Thanks!

su socializaci�n con toda la sociedad
widespread societal acceptance
I read the text a little differently from the way that you do. This is just a rough cut, but the point is that the second sentence describes the effects of the herramientas specifically, I believe, rather than the project generally:
"With this goal in mind, the project will develop the necessary tools to EFFICIENTLY TRAIN/EQUIP the population TO CONFRONT/RESPOND IN a DISASTER. THESE TOOLS will enable ROUTINE database updates and [facilitate] WIDESPREAD SOCIETAL ACCEPTANCE while ALSO SUPPLYING all of the CAPABILITIES/MEANS that the Civil Defense authorities REQUIRE to make efficient and effective decisions."

I hadn't seen that -- was looking at just the headings. I find when my final answer differs greatly from my first, it's good to create a second answer and hide the first. For what it's worth, my phrasing's a tiny bit different from yours....

su socializaci�n con toda la sociedad
public information campaign
With this goal in mind, the plan will develop the necessary tools to ***empower the population efficiently in the wake of a disaster situation. The plan calls for systematic updating of databases and a public information campaign to the entire society while at the same time providing all the tools to Civil Defense authorities for efficient, effective decision making. ***
the word is Plan: Emergency Disaster Plan not project!
socializacion is a public information campaign in this context
cheers

I will tell you that I have never seen this. I think this might be a translation or something..
maybe they meant: full acceptance of it [of the data base]
it's either acceptance of it or a public information campaign..

Spanish term (edited):
su socializaci�n con toda la sociedad
widespread dissemination of their content
"Their content" is implicit in "su."
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2 days 9 hrs 56 mins (2005-09-21 22:38:08 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
In SEMANTIC structure, the "su" probably refers to "datos." This is not true syntactic agreement. This "su" phenomenon is common in some dialects of Spanish. I did a study on it after translating a book in which the (Mexican) author used "su" in a lot of cases where he couldn't tell me precisely what the "su" referred to. We would have lunch together, I would present him with a list of "su"s with ambiguous antecedents, and he would be totally surprised at his own vagueness. This author, by the way, is a well-known eminence.

--------------------------------------------------
I forgot to say what I found in my study. If the syntactic antecedent to "su" is ambiguous or unspecified, invariably "su" refers to the immediately preceding concept. Sometimes it refers to the immediately preceding lump of concepts. But if it's syntactically unclear, the referent is not very far behind.

Yes, the semantic reference to "su" in "su socializacio'n" is the "datos." See my notes above.
