Hi Ghislain, Good to see you here... Was great hanging out at ISWC in Japan last year! > I am looking for canonical URIs to represent regional variants in a > multilingual dataset. > Fo example, I want to be able to use all the variants of Spanish say > es-XX(e.g., es-MX for Mexican variant for Spanish), or English (e.g., > en-CA). > I was looking around, specially in the Library of Congress endpoint [1], > but I am not able to have such URIs for geographical/regional variants. For many years, long-time W3C Fellow Felix Sasaki has been suggesting that regional language varieties be added to Lexvo.org [1]. Just 2 months ago, we happened to finally implement IETF BCP 47-based language varieties (drawing in part on the IANA registry), though the new data is not yet live on Lexvo.org. Send me a PM if you'd like to have a dump with the relevant IDs. Gerard [1] http://lexvo.org -- Gerard de Melo, Asst. Prof. Rutgers University http://gerard.demelo.org/
