It does not make sense to couple coordinates with countries... The
battle of Stalingrad for instance was firmly in the USSR and not in
modern day Russia.
Why not? Every Place has a history that can't be evaded.
The beautiful part of Linked Data is these little graphs one gets when
joining data on defined properties. For instance joining data based on
coordinates would provide an insight into the history of a certain Place.
The battle of Stalingrad is an event that has taken Place at Stalingrad,
which is now Wolgograd, both have the same coordinates. There are even
more places at these coordinates :-)
Cheers,
