Country Dimension - Functional Specification

When dealing with organisations that have cross-border business, the Country Dimension is used to analyse and report geographically.

In this implementation, I have chosen to grab the data from the internet. The UniCode site (here) has just the sort of page I need. To support this, this component utilises the Get HTML component by calling sta.get_html.fetch_html (Overload 1) with a label for the web page, and then sta.get_html.parse_html (Overload 1). This leaves parsed HTML containing the Country data in the table sta.parsed_html. This component, therefore, is largely concerned with extracting data from this generic table and moving it into the whs table D_COUNTRIES.
