Right, so like I keep saying, as far as I can tell, those files are lists of 
URLs, one for each code. (Or technically lists of RDF-triples, but where two 
parts of each triple is identical in every triple just saying "this URL is part 
of the marc geographic vocabulary", and then each triple has a unique URL 
representing a code). 

And I'd need to do a seperate HTTP request for each code ( a couple hundred?) 
to actually get the label(s). 

Am I missing something? That's not a very convenient way to get the data for 
the very common use case of wanting to construct a mapping from code to label, 
right? Or that's just me?
