This table provides the varying names of EU corporate bodies for a given time span. Some other corporate bodies are also included as far as they are used in the various systems in the Publications Office. They are classified accordingly in "EU" | "INT (for n 20190220-0 — [a international)" | "Other". The traceability of the chronological modifications is ensured tio when possible. ublica For the EU Corporate bodies, the legal basis is also indicated, as far as they are known. As the official languages have changed over the time, the translations are provided in the existing official languages for a given period. The names are provided under the

s MDR NAL p labels and in a longer form (e.g. Committee of the Regions | Committee of the Regions e t o of the European Union). se n

a A bi-directional vertical relationship shows how the entities are connected in a

ele parent-child relationship. R A bi-directional horizontal relationship is establish between the entities, starting at a given date and, if the case occurs, the link to the successor and the predecessor.

Country

This country codes authority table is intended to provide a code related to the names of the countries – in a short and in a long form – in the 24 official languages of the European Union.These codes are used for the documentary metadata and may present slight differences with those used for the production of documents at a stylistic level. The "Authority code" relays on the ISO 3166-1/alpha-3 positions. If the ISO code doesn't exist, an alpha-numeric code is created. A traceability of this codes creation is ensured and historical relationships are also offered as from 1950 till now with the date(s) of event(s). A country code comparison is provided between ISO codes, IANA codes (Internet ccTLDS – Country-code Top-level Domains), and TIR (Transport International par la Route) Vehicle system codes. Codes marked in italic are obsolete and should not be used, excepted in the case of back-log work. ISO 3166 is the International standard for country codes. The purpose of ISO 3166 is to establish codes for the representation of names of countries. This standard exists in three forms: ISO 3166-1 (2006) contains a two-letter code which is recommended as the general purpose code, a three-letter code which has better mnenomic properties and a numeric-3 code which can be useful if script independence of the codes is important. ISO 3166-2 (2007) gives codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1. This code is based on the two-letter code element from ISO 3166-1 followed by a separator and a further string of up to three alphanumeric characters. ISO 3166-3 (1999) contains a four-letter code for those country names which have been deleted from ISO 3166-1 since its first publication in 1974. The code elements for formerly used country names have a length of four alphabetical characters (alpha-4 code elements).

sd] UN/LOCODE, the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the International x t- Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Internet Assigned Authority Numbers (IANA) and more other organisations.

Event

n 20190220-0 — [a This authority table has been set up in order to harmonize and to trace historically the tio various events triggered by an agent within the procedures and associated to a resource type.The various sources of information were extracted from Pegase and Prelex and ublica provided by the "C.2.003 Gestion documentaire – Procédures législatives" section.The approach will be the same as for other authority tables, for each concept (for each event):

s MDR NAL p one PrefLabel (label), one abbreviated label e t o one OP authority code (OP-code) used for identifying the concept and used in the URI se n a Codes marked in italic are obsolete and should not be used, except in the case of ele

R back-log work.The sheet "Metadata codes and names" contains the events known to OP at the present time. New entries will be added once they will have been agreed with the IMMC members.

File type

The File types NAL lists the different types of (digital) files (e.g. PDF, XML, DOC, …).

Language

The language code table is based on ISO 639 standard which is issued in several parts: ISO 639-1 contains strictly two alphabetic letters, called α-2, ISO 639-2/B "B" = bibliographic – α-3 is used for bibliographic purpose, ISO 639-2/T "T" = terminology – α-3 is used for technical purpose, ISO 639-3 α-3 covers all the languages and macro-languages of the world; the values are compliant with ISO 639-2/T.

Resource type

This authority table is part of the "Core Metadata". It has been set up in order to harmonize the various types of documents used amongst different systems and, in particular, used in the "Core Metadata and Extension Metadata XML schemas". For the "Core Metadata" the table is related to the Events and Corporate bodies (Agent) authority tables. The various codes already used in various systems are mapped to the authority code. They are not shown in this HTML presentation, but can be found in the XML or SKOS. This table is under the IMMC (Interinstitutionnal Metadata Maintenance Committee) governance. Each concept is presented for approval at the IMMC.
