For promoting international library catalog rule usage in Bibframe
strings, I'd like to propose using W3C language tag extensions.
More info about W3C language tag extensions and private-use subtags:
http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/#extension
(I would like to remind that string handling of bibliographic strings is
fundamental in order to apply the correct filing/sorting order, and it
is useful for building collations, which has been discussed some time ago).
As a consequence, special characters like [, ], ¬ or others could be
interpreted automatically by semantic processors, because RDF natively
support W3C language tags in literals.
Because bibliographic rules are commonly applied only within a certain
country/language area, the language in the tag could indicate the scope
where the string is valid or targeted for (not necessarily the language
of the string itself because more than one language can be involved,
like in transliterations).
Examples:
"¬Der¬ Process"@de-DE-x-rak
"<u088>The <u0089>Process"@en-US-x-aacr
"Aleksandr Pushkin"@en-US-x-aacr-transliteration
"Aleksandr Sergeevič Puškin"@x-iso-9
"Malcolm Pasley [Hrsg.]"@de-DE-x-rak
where
de-DE-x-rak --> this bibliographic string originates from german catalog
rules (RAK)
en-US-x-aacr --> this bibliographic string originates from US catalog
rules (AACR)
en-US-x-aacr-transliteration --> this bibliographic string originates
from US catalog transliteration rules (AACR)
x-iso-9 --> this bibliographic string was created using ISO-9 rules for
transliteration
Similar codes could be applied to transcribed, recorded, or supplied
strings.
etc.
Best regards,
Jörg
