The Country Data Set
Built-in Data Sets
The Country Data set
The DataSets package features two built-in data sets: Country and GeoNames.
The built-in data sets are accessed by creating a Reference to either data set.
The Country data set contains information on all of the countries of the world.
The data in the Country data set is taken from various data sources. Most of the data is hosted by the online data aggregator Quandl and dynamically updated when it is accessed in Maple.
Most of the data in the Country data set is stored as TimeSeries objects.
The following creates a new reference to the Country data set:
with(DataSets):
ref := Reference("Builtin", "Country");

The first column in the Country data set is always the Name column. The GetElementNames command returns a list containing the names for all of the countries. The following table shows all of the available countries:
