<owl:versionIRI rdf:resource="https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/20211101/Countries/CountryRepresentation/"/>
<sm:fileAbstract rdf:datatype="&xsd;string">The purpose of the Country Representation ontology, based on ISO 3166 and other representations of geographic regions and countries, such as the ISO Online Browsing Platform, UN M49 Region codes, SWIFT registry, UN FAO and CIA World Factbook, FIPA and International Olympics codes for countries, and GeoNames, is to provide a systematic description of the vocabulary used for country and geopolitical entity representation (based strictly on requirements for business applications, not broader geographic or political uses). A few additional properties to support geophysical coordinates, identified in the UN FAO and CIA World Factbook as well as from the well-known GeoNames ontology, have been added, but extensions to support other coding systems, such as the FAOSTAT code, have not been included.
ISO 3166 provides widely, though not universally, applicable coded representations of names of countries, dependencies, and other areas of particular geopolitical interest and their subdivisions.
- ISO 3166-1 (Country codes) establishes codes that represent the current names of countries, dependencies, and other areas of particular geopolitical interest, on the basis of lists of country names obtained from the United Nations.
- ISO 3166-2 (Country subdivision code) establishes a code that represents the names of the principal administrative divisions, or similar areas, of the countries, etc. included in the ISO 3166-1.
- ISO 3166-3 (Code for formerly used names of countries) establishes a code that represents non-current country names, i.e., the country names deleted from ISO 3166 since its first publication in 1974.
The United Nations Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use (M49), described at https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/, provides further regional classification for countries by continent, region within a continent, and sub-regions within regions that are widely used as well, and so this ontology is designed to support the M49 code set as well. M49 reuses the ISO 3166 codes for countries and some regions, and augments that with additional, broader regional codes.
This ontology provides a reference model to support the first two parts of ISO 3166, along with the other coding systems mentioned above.</sm:fileAbstract>

<skos:changeNote rdf:datatype="&xsd;string">The http://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/20151101/Countries/CountryRepresentation.rdf version of this ontology has been revised to reflect the issues addressed by the LCC 1.0 FTF report. This includes generalizing the ontology to accommodate country and region coding systems in addition to the ISO 3166 codes, providing some flexibility to use this ontology as the schema to support integration and use of other systems. Such coding systems might include governmental and corporate distinctions from the codes published by the U.N. and standardized by ISO, or reflect domain-specific codes such as the International Olympic Committee, International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), or other international or national sporting organizations. The structure of the ontologies representing the codes themselves has been revised to support an ontology per country for the subdivision codes, so that users can leverage only those they need rather than having to load close to five thousand individuals for applications requiring a small subset of that number. Generation of the country and subdivision ontologies is entirely automated to facilitate change management going forward.</skos:changeNote>
