It is better to refer to BCP-47 instead.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47
An RFC can be updated, when it is, it recieves a new number. For language
tagging, the relevant information is split across two RFCs. BCP-47 is a
permanent IEFT ifentifier referencing the latest versions of the two RFCs

Outside the library sector, the most common approach to language tagging
and matching isn't ISO-639-2 or ISO-639-3, rather BCP-47.
Quite a number of ISO-639-2 language tags represent what ISO-639-3 refers
to as macro languages. For instance 'kar' in ISO-639-2 resolves to 20
language codes in

Hi Brad,
An interesting idea, but many potential failure points.
I have been in the position of spending considerable time to develop,best

Stuart, had a quick look at the proposal, not sure cataloguing is an
appropriate term, nor are they citations.
I suspect that a simple database, web interface, simple search interface

You may want to consider how best to handle PDF files where the text would
contain ligatures and glyph ids rather than the underlying characters.

Hi Mark,
I suspect the tool wil only be able to handle select languages, and very
doubtful you could develop a tool to handle non-LCG text.
For a fully internationalised tool, you would have fo ignore all text

Although I do find the persistent myth of PDF/A as an archival format
amusing.
Under very specific circumstances it can be, but its rare for those
circumstances to be deliberatively met.
And for many languages it is impossible to use pdf for archival purpuses
ever.
It is the nature of PDF.

Does anyone have experience with font authoring and merging different
fonts?
It looks as though FontForge can merge fonts, but it's not clear how to
deal with overlapping codepoints in the merged fonts.

I'd suspect that MARCXML isn't going anywhere fast, a shame perhaps.
The key difference between MARCXML and MARC is that MARCXML inherits
XMLs internationalisation features.
It is an aspect at which MARC is very poor.
