   Hi all,
  
   I have a dilemma that needs to be sorted out.  I'm looking for an
   ontology that can describe geographic hierarchy, and hopefully
 someone
  on
   the list has experience with this.  For example, if I have an RDF
  record
   that describes Athens, I want to point Athens to Attica, and Attica
 to
   Greece, and so on.  The current proposal is to use dcterms:partOf,
 but
  the
   problem with this is that our records will also use dcterms:partOf to
   describe a completely different type of relational concept, and it
  will be
   almost impossible for scripts to recognize the difference between
  these two
   uses of the same DC term.
  
   Thanks,
   Ethan

Re: [CODE4LIB] Representing geographic hierarchy in linked data

2012-04-09 Thread Bigwood, David
In MARC field 043 is a geographic area code that has a hierarchy.

http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd043.html
http://www.loc.gov/marc/geoareas/

An XML version is available for use in applications at:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/codelists/gacs.xml

This document contains a list of geographic areas and their associated
one-to seven-character
codes. The list includes separate codes for countries, first order
political divisions of some countries,
regions, geographic features, outer space, and celestial bodies. The
purpose of this list is to allow
places reflected in the subject headings assigned to an item to be
designated by codes in the MARC
record for that item. The list contains 579 discrete codes, of which 51
are discontinued codes no
longer valid for use.

Ancient geographic entities.  Athens is in Attica.  Sardis is in Lydia (in
Anatolia, for example).  If these were modern geopolitical entities, I
would use geonames.  We're linking cities to Pleiades, but Pleiades does
not maintain parent::child geographic relationships.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Representing geographic hiearchy in linked data
   
Hi all,
   
I have a dilemma that needs to be sorted out.  I'm looking for an
ontology that can describe geographic hierarchy, and hopefully
  someone
   on
the list has experience with this.  For example, if I have an RDF
   record
that describes Athens, I want to point Athens to Attica, and Attica
  to
Greece, and so on.  The current proposal is to use dcterms:partOf,
  but
   the
problem with this is that our records will also use dcterms:partOf
 to
describe a completely different type of relational concept, and it
   will be
almost impossible for scripts to recognize the difference between
   these two
uses of the same DC term.
   
Thanks,
Ethan
