The World Bank's Open Data initiative is "intended to provide all
users with access to World Bank data. The data catalog is a listing of
available World Bank data sources. This listing will continue to
be updated as additional data resources are added. These resources
include databases, pre-formatted tables and reports. Each of the listings
includes a description of the data source and a direct link to
that source. Where possible, the databases are linked directly to a
selection screen to allow users to select the countries, indicators, and
years they would like to search. Those search results can be exported
in different formats. Users can also choose to download the entire
database directly from the catalog."

The full text journal database JSTOR
Coding systems used to identify geographic areas.
The primary source for this information is
FIPS 10-4 (Countries, dependencies, areas of special
sovereignty, and their principal administrative divisions).
For water bodies and non-sovereign geographic areas,
IMA maintains the
"Water body reference data set,"
a two character alpha-numeric code list.
Additionally, when the geographic area is a populated place,
NIMA codes the country from FIPS 10-4 and also records the place name,
as approved by BGN.
