4.4.2.11526
The HL7 V3 value set for Human Language references ISO-3166 under the following sections
- 4.4.2.11526.1 Content Logical Definition (Include all codes defined in urn:iso:std:iso:3166)
- 4.4.2.11526.2 Expansion (All codes from system urn:iso:std:iso:3166)
Issue:
ISO-3166 is the standard for country codes not language codes.
The value set actually contains both ISO-639-1 alpha 2 and ISO-639-2 Alpha 3 language codes.
Request:
Please update the standard to represent the correct code system(s){{}}
