LCC11 — The language and country codes have been updated by ISO and should be revised accordingly in LCC

  • Key: LCC11-3
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    The LCC language codes should be maintained on a regular basis when such changes are made by the Library of Congress (the registration authority for the language codes for ISO 639-2).

    The country codes should also be maintained on a regular basis when revised by the UN / ISO working group.

    This applies strictly to the machine readable files.

  • Disposition: Resolved — LCC 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Update the individuals based on the latest files from ISO

    For ISO-3166, the latest ISO XML file dated Feb 14th, 2019 was automatically processed (using XSLT, checked into GitHub) to create regenerated ISO3166-1-CountryCodes and Regions/ISO3166-2-SubdivisionCodes-CC files which included updated metadata such as new versionIRIs.

    For M49 the latest spreadsheet was diffed with the previously used one: the only change needed was renaming of Swaziland to Eswatini. The change to North Macedonia was not applied due to it not yet being recognized by ISO.

    For ISO-639 the list of changes https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_changes.php from the official Library of Congress site was manually processed.
