Hi Ian,
Congratulations. This looks like a really valuable resource. I took a
tour around as many parts I could find and started incorporating parts
into my cross-linking project.
Is there a guide to the various URI patterns you have used? For
example, you have resources such as
http://www.lexvo.org/page/iso3166-1/AE but I don't know which other
ISO standard codings are included without randomly trying them.
Thanks. The details page now has a more exhaustive list of URI patterns:
http://www.lexvo.org/linkeddata/details.html
The ISO 3166-1 URIs were the only ones we did not give examples for on
the main page, simply because there are many existing sites already
defining URIs for countries. The main reason for creating new ISO 3166-1
URIs was to serve language-related data about the countries and
facilitate browsing the site. We do not recommend using these URIs
externally. We'll be adding owl:sameAs links to GeoNames soon.
Best,
Gerard

Hi everyone,
We'd like to announce a major update of Lexvo.org [1], a site that brings
information about languages, words, characters, and other human language-
related entities to the LOD cloud. Lexvo.org adds a new perspective to the
Web of Data by exposing how everything in our world is connected in terms
of language, e.g. via words and names and their semantic relationships.
Lexvo.org first went live in 2008 just in time for that year's ISWC.
Recently, the site has undergone a major revamp, with plenty of help from
Bernard Vatant, who has decided to redirect lingvoj.org's language URIs to
the corresponding Lexvo.org ones.
At this point, the site is no longer considered to be in beta testing,
and we invite you to take a closer look. On the front page, you'll find
links to examples that will allow you get a feel for the type of
information being offered. We'd love to hear your comments.
Best,
Gerard
