Summary: Use iso country codes in solr index
Description: The solr index in the registry uses the country enums name to persist and query the publishingCountry. Everywhere else we use the isocode as the parameter which should also be used here.

Referring to the updated Registry2 web services ( see: http://dev.gbif.org/wiki/display/POR/Webservice+API )

/dataset and /organization both have Country filter parameters, that work with the enum name, not the ISO country code, e.g. http://staging.gbif.org:8080/registry2-ws/dataset?type=OCCURRENCE&country=SPAIN

We should used the ISO country code in these cases also, wouldn't you agree [~mdoering@gbif.org]?

Comment: Blocked, until a decision about whether to use the isoCountryCode versus country ENUM is reached.

Comment: Is there any doubt to not use the iso codes? I thought that decision is taken

Solr uses iso code already:
doc.setField(COUNTRY.getFieldName(),
      occurrence.getCountry() == null ? null : occurrence.getCountry().getIso2LetterCode());
    doc.setField(PUBLISHING_COUNTRY.getFieldName(),
      occurrence.getPublishingCountry() == null ? null : occurrence.getPublishingCountry().getIso2LetterCode()); ....

Comment: Solr and even more importantly the search ws already uses iso country codes as search values
