Specification Guide

Overview

PublishingLanguages is a container element that groups one or more PublishingLanguage children to declare the set of languages in which an organization regularly produces research content with established competency. It exists to expose multilingual publishing capability as a structured aspect of organizational Expertise, supporting downstream matching of research to language-specific consumer markets and regional distribution requirements.

Usage

PublishingLanguages appears as an optional child of Expertise (cardinality 0..1) and, when present, must contain at least one PublishingLanguage element (1..n). Each child element identifies a language, typically using ISO 639-2/T codes [RIXML Release Notes v2.4 p.18]. Use it when profiling an Organization — for example within a RosterUpdate or company-profile payload — to advertise which languages the publisher can deliver research in. Omit the wrapper entirely if no languages are being asserted; do not include an empty container.
