TGN languages

[VladimirAlexiev]

Why use a fixed XML file for TGN languages? (BTW there's no list of "TGN languages": the languages are used across all Getty vocabs. You can use the following queries to get up to date lists from SPARQL:

• full list of languages: http://vocab.getty.edu/queries#Languages_and_ISO_Codes
• languages currently used in Getty vocabs (and thus having assigned lang tag): http://vocab.getty.edu/queries#Language_URLs

(Of course, you can add prefLabelGVP in the query).
Cheers!

I think that XML file was added back in 2013, possibly before you had a public endpoint. It's definitely an area that we could improve. Thanks for the feedback.

@geekscruff Can you take a look at this issue and comment on whether or not it still applies? I know there have been changes to the Getty processing since this issue was opened.

@elrayle we have lib/qa/authorities/tgnlang.rb sitting outside of the other getty vocabs which using an xml file, we should definitely look to make this a query to the core getty service.
