But language tagging is a kind of semantic markup, at least telling what language the marked data is in, and in this case it tells more... In addition, spell checkers should use the language tag for selecting which dictionary to use. With a special (and standard) language tag for scientific species names, spell checking can use a special dictionary of known words that occur in scientific species names, and thus provide spell guidance for scientific species names. Granted, new such words are invented constantly, but new words are introduced in almost all languages, so that is not anything special. /Kent Karlsson Den 2017-02-25 05:31, skrev "Andrew Cunningham" <[email protected]>: > > To use language tags to markup terms belonging to a taxonomy, does not seem to > be an optimal approach. > > Considering most of the conversation and examples has revolved around usage on > the web, it would seem to make more sense to use semantic markup rather than > language tagging. > > Andrew > _______________________________________________ Ietf-languages mailing list [email protected] http://www.alvestrand.no/mailman/listinfo/ietf-languages
