EML xml:lang code

Open meliezer opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hello, xml:lang="eng" should be replaced with xml:lang="en" following standards. Otherwise it fails here: https://knb.ecoinformatics.org/external//emlparser/ It doesn't fail here: https://tools.gbif.org/dwca-validator/eml.do

Best, Menashè

There is a Q&A here: https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-lang-2or3.en.html noting that although "in the past" three-letter codes would have been acceptable, we should now use the shortest code where a language has more than one code (en, eng).
