enBase entity from which all ESG Data Model entities are derived.
enThe Country definition is based upon ISO 3166 Country Codes:

Each country or territory has three codes:

  • a two letter code
  • a three letter code
  • a three digit code

The numeric code identifies a physical territory, and the letters a country name. Thus when Germany reunified, it kept DE/DEU but changed from 280 to 276, while when Southern Rhodesia was renamed Zimbabwe it stayed 716 but changed from RH/RHO to ZW/ZWE.

Codes withdrawn from use may not be reused for five years. The two letter codes AA, QM to QZ, XA to XZ, and ZZ, all three letter codes beginning with those pairs, and numeric codes beginning 9, are available for individual use and will not be allocated to countries. The codes OO, OOO, and 000 are designated for use as "escape codes" to indicate that more codes are being used.

The term "country" is perhaps a little misleading: not all the "countries" in ISO 3166 are actually independent. Many of them are geographically separate territories that are legally portions or dependencies of other countries. Nonetheless the term "country" is used throughout. Where the code for a country includes territory also included in another code, a code for the exclusive part can be formed by replacing the second and third letters by X.

ISO 3166 was first issued in 1974, and the three digit numbers were mostly added in 1981.

Changes to ISO 3166 are managed by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO3166/MA).

Examples of ISO 3166 codes:

has.entitySchemaAbstractionLevel
A level of abstraction assigned to an Entity schema. Logical schema descriptions use complex dataTypes, inheritance, and entities as attributes. Resolved descriptions contain none of those things, only final trait and attribute sets are shown. A composition schema manipulates, guides, or restates parts of logical schemas to produce one resolved schema.
