Hi LOD list,
I am looking for URIs to use to represent particular languages
(primarily Ancient Greek, Arabic, English and Spanish). This is to
represent what language a document is written in, in an RDF triple. I
thought it would be obvious how to refer to the language itself, but I
am struggling.
I would like to use something like the ISO 639 standard for languages.
To distinguish between Ancient Greek and Modern Greek, I have to use
the ISO-639-2 set of language codes.
_http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/_ (The codes are grc and gre
respectively)
_http://downlode.org/Code/RDF/ISO-639/_ is an RDF representation of
ISO 639 but it doesn't include Ancient Greek as it only includes
ISO-639-1 languages.
As far as I see, I have the following options e.g. for Arabic
Use the
_http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/langcodes_name.php?code_ID=22_
_http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/langcodes-keyword.php?SearchTerm=ara&SearchType=iso_639_2_
<http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/langcodes-keyword.php?SearchTerm=ara&SearchType=iso_639_2>
_http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2#ara_
This really must be simpler -- what am I missing? Any comments
welcomed. Thanks for your help
