The intent of the 3166-7 referential project is for each administrative space of the world to present the following nonrestrictive list of information, maintained as an SQLite database. Le propos du projet de référentiel 3166-7 est, pour chaque espace administratif du monde, de présenter la liste ci-contre et non restrictive d'informations, sous la forme d'une base de données SQLite. The intent is to make this database the core of an IUsers' MDRS (Multilingual Distributed Reference/Meta Data Registry System) of the multiglobal digital ecosystem. L'intention est de faite de cette base de données le cœur d'un SRMD (Système de Référentiels Multilingues Distribué/Registres de Méta-Données).

Note : "multiglobalité" est ici comprise comme la somme des globalités perçues du point de vue de chacune de ces entités. The repository uses a format of named metadata according to a semantic addressing system (SAS) enabling direct and protected listing, use, update and remote intellition.
