Gathering-Country (also /DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/Country): Details about the gathering country, such as the representation of the country and its name. This is separate from {{{NamedArea}}} for compatibility reasons.

Maps to Darwin Core 2: Country through either {{{ISO2Letter}}} (future) or {{{CountryName}}} (current). Historical country names and water bodies outside the coastal zone can be entered under named area.

{{{CountryNameDerived}}} is provided for a country name that has been derived (e.g.from a system supplied dictionary) by library consultation or other independent research.

At least one of {{{CountryName}}} or {{{ISO2}}} or {{{ISO3}}} should be present but more are allowed. This should be the political country having jurisdiction over the collection site.

Notes: Country names and ISO codes can theoretically be part of controlled enumerations but if included within the schema would blow it out to an unacceptable level; is it possible to refer to these lists externally with physically invoking them? [JRC]
