Hi Hans
Regarding languages in ISO 639, are you aware of the URIs / ontology I've
made public since 2007 at http://lingvoj.org?
Also in copy is Rebecca Guenther in charge of ISO 639 codes at Library of
Congress, according to whom a publication of ISO 639 codes in SKOS was on
the LoC roadmap.
See http://id.loc.gov/authorities/about.html
My idea at lingvoj.org like yours, I guess, was to provide placeholderURIs
default any publication by the authoritative ISO source. As soon as
authoritative URIs are published by the relevant source, we should in good
practice deprecate our URIs to those. Except we have no specific RDF
vocabulary for URI lifecycle, such as "deprecatedResource" and "replacedBy",
but that another story. At least we have owl:sameAs :)
Rebecca, any idea when id.loc.gov is likely to release ISO 639 URIs?
On a more technical level I uploaded your language ontology in Protégé 4 and
saved in RDF-XML (I belong to this strange sort of people reading better XML
than text formats for RDF and the result is a bit weird : the blank nodes
representing Concepts linked to Language instances through skos:exactMatch
are broken, e.g., see below [1]. Seems that Protégé is not happy with your
user-defined datatype for notations :(
BTW why not representing Language directly as a sub-class of skos:Concept
and attach each to the various schemes (ISO 639-1, 639-2, 639-3) it belongs
to? Something I don't define at lingvoj.org, bu which seems a good idea to
add. Put it on my todo list.

>
> I invite you to submit one or more "_exemplary ontologies_
> <http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Odp:WhatIsAnExemplaryOntology>"

> <http://www.ontologydesignpatterns.org/>.

> * you have significant knowledge or experience with,
> * you regard as an excellent example of a "high quality" ontology
> See: "_What is an Exemplary Ontology_
> <
> http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Odp:WhatIsAnExemplaryOntology>"
> for ideas about this; edit them if you wish.
>
> Can you or any of your colleagues think of exemplary ontologies to add

> *WHY: * /to make it easy for people to find good ontologies to draw
