Ok. This is a Blog, blog is just a web page where all the content is in reverse chronological order (kinda redundant: a blog in a wiki, but I'll see if this works). You may comment on posts if you like. | Ok.

I just stumbled upon http://www.vrxml.org, (Vendor Reporting...) I really can't figure out what it like _really_ is but at first glance it seems to be some effort by [[NYSE]] so standardize vendor contact information, which would be kind of nice if it pulled through, because then we could use [[VRXML]] (or just make our XML compatible to it) to identify companies, their subdivisions and contact people withing companies (For arranging feedback and up-to-date company info and such) | |||
From there on I followed some link and found out that there is an [[w:ISO]] standard for identifying subdivisions of countries (States, Provinces and such): [[ISO 3166-2]] Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions -- Part 2: Country subdivision code | |||
The bad news is that a copy of the standard costs CHF 194,00, which is a lot of money and I personally am so broke at the moment and if I got some I would buy a bluetooth phone, so I could connect to the net, when I'm away from my ethernet. I guess we'll just have to use [[Wikipedia]] to get country divisions. | |||
