3 days ago ROR will be undertaking a full dataset address update relative to Geonames later this year, at which point the country names should all be aligned.
Is it possible to clean up the Country expressions associated with some of the ROR IDs? Example: Netherlands on RORs and The Netherlands on others. It is distracting in coding and various workflows to convert these into a uniform expression and I think it would be good for the registry to have a single articulation of a country/territory and agreed expression of words like "Saint". There are more than 2300 institutions in the database which are tied to countries expressed differently depending on the record. We are using the code of course, but the country is used for other purposes in various work processes so it would be good to refine this data point at source. Thanks, for looking and considering this request. John
