%X Glottocodes constitute the backbone identification system for the language, dialect and family inventory Glottolog<br>(https://glottolog.org). In this paper, we summarize the motivation and history behind the system of glottocodes and describe the<br>principles and practices of data curation, technical infrastructure and update/version-tracking systematics. Since our understanding<br>of the target domain—the dialects, languages and language families of the entire world—is continually evolving, changes<br>and updates are relatively common. The resulting data is assessed in terms of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable,<br>Reusable) Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship. As such the glottocode-system responds to an<br>important challenge in the realm of Linguistic Linked Data with numerous NLP applications.
