Adding GLD WG and @der
Hi Jakob,
Thanks for raising this. Can I ask you what your use case is?
The Government Linked Data Working Group [1] is chartered to look at
this ontology and your use cases would be useful input to that process.
Thanks
Phil.

Hi,
The Organization Ontology as described at
http://www.epimorphics.com/public/vocabulary/org.html
contains org:Site for location information, both physical and
non-physical. There are properties to connect organizations and sites
(org:hasSite / org:siteOf) and to connect People and sites
(org:basedAt). But these properties have no general super-property to
express that something (not necessarily an org:Organization or
foaf:Person) is located at an org:Site.
I found the following properties that may match:
1. dcterms:spatial
(http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-spatial) has range
dcterms:Location
(http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#classes-Location) for "A
spatial region or named place"
2. http://dbpedia.org/ontology/location has range
http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place for "Immobile things or locations"
3. http://schema.org/location has range http://schema.org/Place which is
for "Entities that have a somewhat fixed, physical extension".
Each choice would make org:Site a subclass of or equivalent to another
class for places. I'd prefer not to create yet another property but use
an existing one, so could the Organization Ontology be aligned to one of
the three ontologies listed above?
Thanks
Jakob
