Re: More on the Linked MARC codes lists

Hello Ross,

this looks very nice, and I basically have only a question related to "Web"
language identifiers, used e.g. in xml:lang, html "lang" etc.: these are
relying on BCP 47
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt
which cites the underlying ISO standard(s), among others. It would be really
nice to have a means to link BCP 47 language identifiers (that is, the parts
which are relevant) to MARC codes and to Lexvo.org , but I haven't seen any
efforts in that direction yet. Are you or others aware of such approaches?
It is not that easy, since BCP 47 references a lot fo ISO standards, allows
for IETF defined extensions etc.
