# The I18N Namespace
The i18n namespace is used for describing combinations of language tag and base direction in RDF literals.             It is used as an alternative mechanism for describing the BCP47 language tag and base direction of RDF literals             that would otherwise use the xsd:string or rdf:langString datatypes.

The [DBpedia Archivo Databus agent](https://databus.dbpedia.org/ontologies) generates only basic, static documentation for the archived snapshots of the ontologies.

## Ontology Metadata

DBpedia Archivo extracts metadata from the ontology for well known properties (e.g. dct:description). This subsection shows the content of every property individually using a separate heading.
