Hello all, One of the things we discussed in the F2F on 4th in Vienna was how to define territorial scope in terms of location as the GDPR is specific about data being stored within the EU. We agreed to look into country-codes (e.g. ISO) as a storage location. At the time, there was also a discussion about storing temporal information in case the country (or location) leaves the EU. Following that, I found that the EU statistical office maintains a list of country codes mapped to EU membership which we can use. * https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Tutorial:Country_codes_and_protocol_order * https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Glossary:Country_codes These provide a way to reference EU membership (they change with every change in membership) and also define the extended countries aligned with the EU (EFTA et. al) - this is an ideal solution if a country joins/leaves EU These use ISO 3166 country codes https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/ There are three types 2-letter, 3-letter, numeric. The only question is if there is an existing implementation we can reference as linked data / semantic resources? I could not find any. If not, we can suggest for now the use of these as storage locations. Regards, -- --- Harshvardhan J. Pandit PhD Researcher ADAPT Centre, Trinity College Dublin https://harshp.com/
