Re: Need help mapping two letter country code to URI

There are quite a few, but I don't know which other ones follow ISO 3166-1.
http://sameas.org/?uri=http://dbpedia.org/resource/Austria
Gives a selection.
Or also
http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/id/AT
http://ontologi.es/place/AT

Our site, http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/id/AT
is our capture of UN/LOCODE 2009-1, the United Nations Code for Trade and
Transport Locations, which uses the 2-letter country codes from ISO 3166-1,
as well as the 1-3 letter subdivision codes of ISO 3166-2
See http://www.unece.org/cefact/locode/
It also gives inclusion and coords, etc.
We need to do more coref to other than onologi.es .
