How can I express containment/composition?

2013-02-21 Thread Frans Knibbe | Geodan
Hello, I would like to express a composition relationship. Something like: A Country consist of Provinces A Province consists of Municipalities I thought this should be straightforward because this is a common and logical kind of relationship, but I could not find a vocabulary which allows be

You could also check the GeoNames ontology, which considers administrative subdivisions: http://www.geonames.org/ontology/documentation.html E.G.: in the USA, level 1 administrative subdivisions are States. In Italy, they are Regions. It is a minor change of perspective with respect to yours.

Barry and Matteo, thank you for pointing me to the GeoNames Ontology. Geographical containment can also be found in GeoSPARQL (http://schemas.opengis.net/geosparql/1.0/geosparql_vocab_all.rdf): sfContains. I had the feeling that what I primarily needed was the logical concept of

2013-02-21 Thread Matteo Casu
The contains in GeoSPARQL holds between geometries, not geographic entities, so I don't think it would fit your needs. You can go with GeoNames. The following query should give you the result on a triple store (try on the FactForge endpoint or on your data once you have it): PREFIX

2013-02-21 Thread Barry Norton
I agree that one should expect (some) geographical containment(s) to represent general partonomy; I guess geonames doesn't because there is no canonical property for partonomy. E.g., Geonames has: :parentFeature a owl:ObjectProperty, owl:TransitiveProperty;

Thanks, Bernard, that was (supposed to be) exactly my point about 'some types of containment', and I was trying to say later that this might apply to some of the parentFeature sub-properties but not others. I didn't make myself very clear though; glad you followed up. Barry On 21/02/13
