Hi Renato, Feel free to have a look at these ontologies, depending on Dublin Core Elements and Terms, FOAF and SKOS: http://eulersharp.sourceforge.net/2003/03swap/countries http://eulersharp.sourceforge.net/2003/03swap/languages They were created in 2009 and have been updated a few times since. You can browse them as .html. ISO639-3 or other typed codes can be added.
