Namespace - Wikipedia, retrieved 2021-07-06:

In computing, a namespace is a set of signs (names) that are used to identify and refer to objects of various kinds. A namespace ensures that all of a given set of objects have unique names so that they can be easily identified.

The following terms are used by this dataset and the cc-legal-tools-app application that ingests/generates it.

Gettext Files are are files conveying translations (internationalization and localization files). Django relies on the GNU gettext toolset.

• machine object files with a .mo file extensions (ex. django.mo)
• portable object files with a .po file extensions (ex. django.po)
• GNU gettext utilities: Files

The portable object files use the following values for these standard metadata entries:

• Project-Id-Version: Transifex resource slug
• Language: Transifex Code

The portable object files use the following values for these custom metadata entries:

• Language-Django: Language Code
• Language-Transifex: Transifex Code

Jurisdiction Codes are legal jurisdiction identifiers used for Creative Commons legal tool ports (ex. licenses versions 1.0 - 3.0). They consist of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.

• ISO 3166-1 - Wikipedia Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 1: Country codes
  • ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 - Wikipedia

IETF language tags are identifiers for human languages.

Locale Names (locale_name) are Django locale names. Django locale names are language/region identifiers programmatically generated by Django based on the Language Code. They are meant to match POSIX locales or Unicode locales.

• locale name | Definitions | Internationalization and localization | Django documentation | Django
• Locale (computer software) - Wikipedia

Language Codes (language_code) are Django language codes. They consist of lowercase IETF language tags.

• The default Django languge codes are defined in django/django:django/conf/global_settings.p: Lines 50-148
• Additional codes are defined by the cc-legal-tools-app application in cc_legal_tools/settings/base.py

POSIX locales are language/region identifiers defined by POSIX.

• POSIX platforms - Locale (computer software) - Wikipedia
• Locale (computer software) - Wikipedia

Transifex Codes (transifex_code) are Transifex language codes. Most consist of POSIX locales or Unicode locales. Some consist of IETF language tags.

• Languages on Transifex
• Locale (computer software) - Wikipedia

Unicode locales are language/region identifiers defined by the Unicode Consortium.

• Common Locale Data Repository - Wikipedia
• Locale (computer software) - Wikipedia
