In this paper, we summarize the motivation and history behind the system of glottocodes and describe the{\textless}br{\textgreater}principles and practices of data curation, technical infrastructure and update/version-tracking systematics. Since our understanding{\textless}br{\textgreater}of the target domain{\textemdash}the dialects, languages and language families of the entire world{\textemdash}is continually evolving, changes{\textless}br{\textgreater}and updates are relatively common. The resulting data is assessed in terms of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable,{\textless}br{\textgreater}Reusable) Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship. As such the glottocode-system responds to an{\textless}br{\textgreater}important challenge in the realm of Linguistic Linked Data with numerous NLP applications.}}, journal = {{Semantics Web Journal}}, eid = {2685-3899}, }
