Hi Jeff


:A1 a skosxl:Label;
rdfs:label “Ελληνική Δημοκρατία”@gr
skosxl:literalForm “Hellēnikē Dēmokratia”;
bf:romanizationRule <https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/oriya.pdf>;

is a possibility, although skosxl:literalForm is a RDF plain literal

so

:A1 a skosxl:Label;
rdfs:label “Ελληνική Δημοκρατία”@gr
skosxl:literalForm “Hellēnikē Dēmokratia”@gr-Latn;
bf:romanizationRule <https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/oriya.pdf>;

or using another appropriate language tag would be more exact. and since the PDF files aren't versioned, you may or may not be linking to the version of the romanisation rule used.

Another approach might be to use SKOS-XL instead of language tags like so:

:A1 a skosxl:Label;
rdfs:label “Ελληνική Δημοκρατία”@gr
skosxl:literalForm “Hellēnikē Dēmokratia”;
.

It’s a little heavy, but a construct like this would tie the key pieces together. A custom language tag on the transliteration can’t tie in the native term.

It is less than ideal, yes, but it was the only one that was proposed as a variant subtag. And no one has proposed a way to tag anything else.

It doesn't help that romanisation tables lacked good versioning information, etc.
