  • Disposition Summary:

    Reflect name changes and the URI change for MK

    The name changes are handled by the XSL applied to the latest ISO XML file.
    The URI change is additionally addressed as follows:
    1) retain the deprecated individual
    <owl:NamedIndividual rdf:about="&lcc-3166-1;Macedonia">
    <owl:sameAs rdf:resource="&lcc-3166-1;NorthMacedonia"/>
    <owl:deprecated rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#boolean">true</owl:deprecated>
    <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="&lcc-3166-1;"/>
    </owl:NamedIndividual>

    2) use the new URI in the UN-M49-RegionCodes file:
    <rdf:Description rdf:about="&lcc-3166-1;NorthMacedonia">
    <lcc-cr:isSubregionOf rdf:resource="&lcc-m49;SouthernEurope"/>
    </rdf:Description>

    3) use the URI in the CountryCodes-Adjunct mapping file:
    <lcc-cr:Country rdf:about="&lcc-3166-1-adj;MK">
    <owl:sameAs rdf:resource="https://www.omg.org/spec/LCC/Countries/ISO3166-1-CountryCodes/NorthMacedonia"/>
    </lcc-cr:Country>
