ISO 639-3 and metadata standards #5

Open HughP opened 9 years ago

HughP commented 9 years ago

Which metadata standards contain ISO 639-3 codes and MARC records? Which items should use these?

HughP commented 9 years ago

Language tags as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), as documented in: BCP 47: Best Current Practice 47, which includes RFC 5646 RFC 5646, which superseded RFC 4646, which superseded RFC 3066. (Therefore all standards which depend on any of these 3 IETF standards now use ISO 639-3.) Dublin Core Metadata Initiative: DCMI Metadata Term for language, via IETF's RFC 4646 (now superseded by RFC 5646). HTML5: via IETF's BCP 47. MARC library codes. MODS library codes: Incorporates IETF's RFC 3066 (now superseded by RFC 5646).
