@Gannon, @Andy - you are right that the issue of sex/gender is far from

I need to offer 'something' even if it's not ideal and then work on the
longer term.

As Bill suggests: If you use a URI from an authoritative source that
serves the terms, you don't have to wait for ISO to start doing it
themselves. This has been done to some extent in several efforts in
the bio area, in chronological order:

A framework of federated PURLs was
So David's solution (using PURLs) provides a bit of transparency and
manageablity, but it has the disadvantage of having no official
status.
Maybe (probably) I'm missing something here?

Gannon raises a valid point, BUT it is important to remember that ISO
is a *publisher* and DOI is fundamentally a publishing industry thing.
So while they might not be inclined to support Cool URIs for their own
sake, they might be DOI adopters for the sake of The Bottom Line...

Okay, then maybe a PURL would help? purl.org now supports "partial

That may not quite work with your ISO URIs though.

expecting to be able to dereference the datatype URI to get da

naming the property on rudely calling the property holder names. ISO declines

The ideal thing would be if ISO, Eurostat produced concise resolvable URIs of
course. But while we wait for them to do that, why doesn't W3C mint and support
URIs for the most commonly used code lists, that resolve to relevant
documentation and/or links to the definitive documents from ISO etc.

Yes, one could use URL shorteners and that's probably the only sane way
to go but it's still not ideal because:

lot of tracking) - Google's goo.gl is all wrapped up with their services
too - not the kind of thing
