CC:DA/OLAC/2016/1 Addition of New Controlled Vocabulary for 3.19.6 Regional Encoding

Abstract

Most of the elements for technical details describing carriers in Chapter 3 have associated controlled vocabularies where one could potentially be developed. There is no controlled vocabulary for regional encoding (3.19.6). OLAC believes that adding a controlled vocabulary for individual region codes would be beneficial for users and improve data quality. Data would be recorded more consistently and would be in a form that could be machine-manipulated so it could be used for limiting and faceting.
