It is very logical. You're right. I understand this now that I see it
built....
Ah, the key is the wdt:P276*/wdt:P131* wd:Q771.... That captures the Boston
and environs. This is great.
What does "BIND ('1' AS ?ma)" mean explicitly. I saw on the User Manual it
binds together location -- but I want to be able to customize this for the
various locales -- and be able to explain this to Heather so she can do it
herself as well....
Thanks so much! I really appreciate this help.
