The mapping between countries and their related continents must be extracted from Geonames and made available when generating the ORI-maintained file of POR. A new AWK script may be necessary.
You can map the country_code
to the continent
using GeoBase:
$ GeoBase -b countries -s code continent -q
#code^continent
BD^AS
BE^EU
BF^AF
BG^EU
BA^EU
...
Then you can finish replacing the continent codes by their names (you can also get this mapping by GeoBase
).
The ori_por_public.csv file contains POR (point of reference) entries containing non standard continent names (e.g., America, Atlantic)
