Notes: Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as RFC 4646 [RFC4646]. Audubon Core: Language(s) of resource itself represented in ISO639-1 or -3

An image may contain language such as superimposed labels. If an image is of a natural scene or organism, without any language included, the resource is language-neutral (ISO code “zxx”). Resources with present but unknown language are to be coded as undetermined (ISO code “und”). Resources only containing scientific organism names should be coded as "zxx-taxon" (do not use the incorrect “la” for Latin). For regional dialects or other special cases, conform to the IETF Best Practices for Tags Identifying Languages.

Example(s): 'en' for English or 'ru' for Russian

Constraints in the context of Dublin Core:

• rdfs:range: http://purl.org/dc/terms/LinguisticSystem (=the class or datatype of the values or objects that are assigned to “dcterms:language”, i.e. the right side in the triple)
