If only they could do ISO 3166 countries as well... ================================== I imagine if I lived on Bouvet I'd think so too. It gets second billing :o) I used the URN LEX identifiers for ISO 3166. This syntax is extensible to national regions. Like Norway and Bouvet, the US has some of these too Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, etc.. Unlike ISO 3166, I used all possible 2 letter codes. See http://www.rustprivacy.org/2012/cctld I'm getting ready to post a new DB version in a few days. --Gannon ________________________________ From: Lars Marius Garshol <lars.garshol@bouvet.no> To: Bernard Vatant <bernard.vatant@mondeca.com> Cc: M.

So if you want to use a URI for Ancient Greek as defined by ISO 639-2, please use http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/iso639-2/grc. Agreed. That stuff is all legacy now that LoC is doing this. > BTW Lars Marius, hello, what do you think? URIs at id.loc.gov are really what we were dreaming to achieve in 2001, right? Yes. Having an authority like Library of Congress maintain these URIs seemed completely utopian in 2001, but I'm really happy to see that they now do it.
