Re: I18N-ACTION-1080: Ping unicode about establishing a langtag online subtag reference

Hello Martin,

The action item is not about language subtags but about language tags.

The RDF community has developed several (non standardized) Web services
that provide information about languages and related information, see e.g.
http://lexvo.org/
The information is accessible as RDF, with unique URIs for languages. The
unique URIs are also cited in standards like DCAT.

Such services are proprietary. The idea of this action item is to consider
a service, hosted and endorsed by a standards body, providing URIs for
languages.

Best

Felix
