Glottolog data should be made available via a dataset locator pointing to its CLDF datasets. Now having to specify e.g. the Zenodo DOI for Glottolog CLDF v5.0 rather than just "glottolog-v5.0" may be a bit tedious. But possibly we can think of a "discovery" library (i.e. a package implementing a pycldf_dataset_resolver entry point) which can resolve such short-hand notations, maybe via looking up the clld meta catalog.
