  • Geographic Region

Examples

Value
The bounded shape that defines the region occupied by Crater Lake; the bounded area known as the contiguous USA.

Comments

  • A geographic region could be non-contiguous; e.g., the region governed by the US federal government is the contiguous area of the lower 48 states plus Alaska, Hawaii, and overseas territories. Child classes in lower ontologies can make this distinction.

Notes

  • OWL subClassOf restrictions: (gist:GeoLocation & ∃hasMagnitude.∃hasAspect=_Aspect_area)

    comments:
    - This property is used to describe instance data which is not part of the ontology.
      A definition and a description have different semantics. Use skos:definition
      for a statement of the meaning of a thing and gist:description to describe a
      thing's attributes, characteristics, or features.
    examples:
    - value: A person does not have a definition, but might be described as being
        six feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes; an ontology class or taxonomy
        term has a definition.
    - value: '''The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in midtown
        Manhattan in New York City. It was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and built
        from 1930 to 1931.'''
