Awesome indeed.

From the dump (found from void.ttl, of course!) I found some (4135) new 
exactMatches that I didn't have before and put them in sameas.org - thanks.
Eg http://www.sameas.org/?uri=http://oecd.270a.info/code/1.0/CL_7HA_LOCATION/AUS

Nice OECD chunk you got there.

I can bring up a separate 270a store at something like sameas.org/store/270a 
with only your data in, if you would find it useful.

That's might not be a bad idea because there will be a few more datasets coming up as soon as I retrieve them :)

But you may want to be a bit more careful with the closeMatches.
They are sometimes not very close :-)
But I did get a laugh on this one!

Whoop. Okay, I guess that highlights an important point; I should not bother with anything that's not an exact match for countries. Because it doesn't make sense. It would only be really useful if I was trying to interlink the countries from A with the regions from B with some partitive relationship.

BTW, I've just interlinked FAO Species with DBpedia, where the exactMatches are I think fairly accurate. I didn't bother to go deep into with anything else because I have zero clue about species. I'll add countries from FAO at some point, but right now as I see it, there are a bunch of codelists which consists of codes from different geoarea levels. Just a bit more work but no biggie.
