Dear All,

The standard name table has been updated. The current version is now version 87, dated 12 November 2024. New contributors to the table for this version are Wan-Ling Tseng and Letizia Tedesco. All changes are listed below. Please note that no KWIC index exists yet for this table version, this will be added in due course. At the same time, the Standardized Region List was updated to version 5, dated 12 November 2024.

Best wishes,

P30 Standardized Regions List update to v5, Nov 2024:

a. cf-convention/vocabularies#64
The following regions were added to the list (proposed by Karl Taylor):
northern_hemisphere
southern_hemisphere
If either of these require a description (help text), a separate issue can be opened in this repo for this purpose.
