country code for international organisations in TableCCCC.json

[antje-s]

Which country code should international organizations be registered with? There are currently different variants in the TableCCCC.json e.g. "IAEA":{"centre":"international_atomic_energy_agency", "name":"International Atomic Energy Agency", "country_short":"de", "comment":""}, "EUMG":{"centre":"eumetsat_darmstadt", "name":"EUMETSAT (Darmstadt)", "country_short":"eu", "gisc":"Offenbach", "comment":""},

Should we use:

• "zz" as "unknown or unspecified country"
• country code of primary GISC of DCPC
• "eu" for Europe for European Organizations
• ??

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 which is the underlying standard we are supposed to be leveraging. it has provision for "eu", and for this case "un" (UN - United Nations, IAEA being a part of the UN)

Shall we update "UNO" in TableCCCC for IAEA?

[petersilva]

yes. as per: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3#Exceptional_reservations
