iana-language-subtag-registry-rdfizer

The IANA language subtag registry is a resource that lists valid values for use in the components of BCP47 language tags. The format is a set of records with key-value pairs.

This repo contains two independent but related Java/Maven projects.

• The RDFizer itself which is just a single class
• A resource project which just contains the generated dataset

RDFization

The core RDFization is 'raw' - each record is represented by a blank node, each key is turned into an IRI of the form urn:key and the value becomes a literal. This way no information is lost and the alignment of the raw predicates to existing ontologies can be accomplished by means of post processing with rdf tooling.
