COMMONS14 — The definition of geopolitical entity in the locations ontology needs refinement

  • Key: COMMONS14-11
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    Currently, a geopolitical entity is a subclass of geographic region. But, a geopolitical entity can span regions, and in a handful of cases may not be associated with well-defined borders. A geopolitical entity would be better defined as a political entity associated with a geographic region, and loosen the relationship between the two concepts.
