PCC & Stanford would like the addition of the MARC Country Codes to QA for use in Sinopia. This is part of a project to simplify data exchange (and sadly, helps in conversion to MARC)
Please perform each task listed below. (Email sf433 @ cornell dot edu with questions):
[x ] QA has the ability to provide contextual information about an entity during the look-up experience. In order to do so, decisions need to be made about how to index the RDF descriptions of entities in the dataset. Add a new tab and indexing information for the data source to the following spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rPvEoP9iYNkxJ0eWC8gXe3ci7e6mhW0da59xkGhadi0/edit?usp=sharing. (See the existing LCNAF tab in the spreadsheet as an example)
Once the above actions have taken place, a link to a YAML file will be shared with the requestor via a comment in the issue in order to complete Accuracy Test, https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/wiki/Writing-Tests-for-an-Authority#accuracy-test. Edit directly the YAML file in Github, save. Create a Pull Request to be reviewed. Be sure to including a meaningful commit message (e.g. adding accuracy tests for Authority X).
Context on Accuracy Tests: In order to make sure the QA search behavior (recall and relevancy) are meeting expectations, QA uses YAML to define test parameters. These parameters include the ability to declare for a particular text string searched, the results should include a particular resource (identified by a URI) and what is the maximum position in the results the resource should be found.)
Please note, all requests for new data sources in QA will be prioritized by the LD4P2 project. Due to time restrictions there is no guarantee that all requests will be added to QA during the lifetime of the LD4P2 grant; regardless of resources it is still useful to know which datasets the community would find useful in such a lookup service.

[ x] Please consult the LD4P2 QA Authority Support Plan (https://github.com/LD4P/qa_server/wiki/Authority-Lookup-Support-Plan-for-Sinopia) to confirm the dataset isn't already being supported. It is not currently supported. I have checked the plan listed here
[ x] Identify the data source: (Include the Data Source Name, its homepage URL, and any relevant API and/or download information to aid in caching.)
Officially "MARC List for Countries" homepage: https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/countries.html Download available at: https://id.loc.gov/download/ (under MARC Countries)
Added under tab: MARC Country codes (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rPvEoP9iYNkxJ0eWC8gXe3ci7e6mhW0da59xkGhadi0/edit#gid=1202667279) though some added discussion might help.
