Bibframe uses RDF. RDF’s literals are defined as [[ A literal in an RDF graph consists of two or three elements: • a lexical form, being a Unicode [UNICODE] string, which should be in Normal Form C [NFC], • a datatype IRI, being an IRI identifying a datatype that determines how the lexical form maps to a literal value, and • if and only if the datatype IRI is http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#langString, a non-empty language tag as defined by [BCP47]. The language tag must be well-formed according to section 2.2.9 of [BCP47]. ]] - https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-Graph-Literal <https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-Graph-Literal> Andrew, from your perspective I’d be curious if think this addresses the requirements as you see them. If so, I suggest reflecting such real examples, as Sigge has identified, as part of a Bibframe test case harness would be useful to help validate implementation. If not, I suggest a response back to W3C would be in order. —e > On Dec 18, 2017, at 8:56 AM, Sigfrid Lundberg <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > I just cannot tell how much I feel we need BCP47 and RFC 5646 in a globalized world. > > This is a manuscript partly written in Italian in Hebrew script: > http://www.kb.dk/manus/judsam/2009/sep/dsh/object36944/en/ > > These are not odd curiosities, they are real.
