Hi,

I checked MARC country codes against ISO country codes.
I saw some différences.

As ISO 3166 standard is used in some RFC, i suggest to use ISO3166 codes in
MODS rather than MARC codes.

I worked today on an xml file that made the reliationship between these
different codes and names :
http://mods-fr.sourceforge.net/ follow the link "Pays".
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/mods-fr/xsl/countr
ies.xml

I'll give you next week the differences between these standards.

Yves
