Dear newsgroup members.

I try to understand how the religion of a person is represented in
GEDCOM 5.5. I came across the RELI token, but could not find any
standardized values for this token. In some GEDCOM files I find
localized descriptions of the religion, but it seems to me that such a
localized version is not suitable if GEDCOM files are exchanged across
language boundaries.
e=2Eg. how would I represent the fact that a person is "roman-catholic"

RELI roman-catholic
RELI r=F6misch-katholisch
RELI roemisch-katholisch
RELI RK
RELI RC

I think that for the purpose of exchanging GEDCOM files some sort of
language independent taxonomy for these tokens would be required.
Does anybody know of such a taxonomy?

Best regards
Carsten Leue
