About This Item
TS ISO 3166-3 addresses the third part of the ISO 3166 family, focused on how formerly used country names are represented by code. It provides a coding approach and maintenance arrangements for names that are no longer part of the current set of country names. In general technical terms, this supports consistent identification of historical country entities in data exchange, archives, and long-lived records.
Coding former country names
Within the ISO 3166 system, short and stable country designations help reduce ambiguity in information interchange. The emphasis of this part is on names that appeared in earlier editions of ISO 3166-1 and were later removed. As general technical context, such codes help preserve historical records without confusing them with present-day country names and make mapping, retrieval, and archival control more reliable.
Maintenance and practical context
The title and abstract show that this standard covers not only the code itself but also the basic principles for maintaining that code set. That makes it useful when older country-name records must be handled under a single, consistent identification scheme. Although it belongs to the same ISO 3166 family as country and subdivision coding, its specific focus is the representation of formerly used country names.
