LCC_ — The language codes in the 639-2 ontology are missing URI references

They assume the default (or local base) URI and should include an explicit reference.

The language codes in the 639-2 ontology are missing URI references

Lack of explicit, rather than default, URIs is a problem particularly in cases where the ontologies are used in a knowledge graph / repository / triple store, whereby the header information for the ontology is not easily available for query and other application purposes. The resolution to this is to ensure that all individuals in the 639-2 ontology are fully qualified with the URI of the ontology as well as the local name.

The resolution affects the machine-readable files for LCC only, and has no impact on the text of the specification. The corrected URIs are part of the revised machine readable files for the FTF report, are available in GitHub
at https://github.com/edmcouncil/lcc.git for review. Correcting all of the individuals was accomplished using automation (xslt), thus ensuring that no individuals were missed or errors introduced that might otherwise be difficult to find.
