FAO Geopolitical Ontology

The FAO geopolitical ontology contains information about countries and groups of countries, including code lists, names in various languages and the historical dimension of evolution of countries (e.g., West Germany is a "predecessor" or Germany). The geopolitical ontology and related services have been developed to facilitate data exchange and sharing through standards, among systems managing information about countries and/or regions.

For more information, see "Geopolitical information" within the Country Profile web site.
